Many rejoiced in the triumphant return of The Pirate Bay, which was downed by Swedish police two months back. Now reports have shifted their focus to the people behind its comeback. Reports about the issue are still searing and they are suggesting that the torrent tank is nothing but FBI's trap. 

The revived download site won't allow old moderators to access their old accounts and it seems like the file sharing hub has abandoned the need for them, too. This has taken aback the users of the site. A Twitter user who goes by the name TheAnonMessage informed its followers about the alleged FBI takeover, adding that the agency has lodged bugs on the site as well as CloudFlare to catch illegal file sharers. 

The Pirate Bay quickly elucidated the CloudFlare issue, saying, "We have seen that there has been some question to why we are using CloudFlare. This is only initially to handle the massive load upon the servers. It will be removed shortly."

Apparently, CloudFlare is susceptible to spying, making The Pirate Bay easy to invade by the aforementioned security agency. 

Torrent Freak has made efforts to debunk the speculations as well, calling the rumor "nonsense." Torrent Freak said that FBI's plan to ensnare copyright infringement at its max will not work best by invading the source of it, saying that picking up IP and email addresses would not be much of a breakthrough in its quest to kill piracy. Outside trackers will be much more efficient for this mission, the site added. 

The Pirate Bay has regenerated as a solo operation last week, losing its throng of moderators that supposedly keeps the site out of spam's way. This move made fake torrents abound, easily fetching malware and malicious content and having them thrown directly to unsuspecting downloaders' computers. The restored site has set out screening bots to resolve the matter. They did this after making a Report button available to the site. The said bots, which were drawn straight from BitSnoop, will help users determine if a torrent is good or bad or if it is safe to download. 

BitSnoop has used this method known as FakeScan to segregate snake oil and secure torrents. It does not promise 100 percent accuracy but it helps in abolishing most of the shams. However, the lack of moderation has also spawned spam links in comments which are exploited by users tricking other users into paying for harmful streaming portals. There are also malicious software shown as codecs lingering in the site.
