I hadn’t been to the Pirate Bay in quite some time. I occasionally pop over to look for old videos. I went today and a big popover for a dubious software upgrade came up. Then, another saying that my system is infected and offering to clean it. That’s obviously fake, but it was blocking my access to the user interface so I wasn’t able to complete my search. Closed it. That’s unfortunate.

    Like all websites, there are fake ones and then there are official ones.

    Many will be clones of what the original website looked like.
