Bleeping computer goes to war with Enigma

Stefan Mileschin · 15th August 2016, 15:45

A discussion forum which helps people get malware off their PCs has countersued the makers of Spyhunter, the Enigma group.

Bleeping said that Enigma has been registering domain names that include “bleepingcomputer” and posting some of the company’s webpage’s source code on other websites without its authorisation.

However, there is a bit of a backstory because Enigma has sued Bleeping for libel earlier this year over a series of messages that it claims disparaged SpyHunter.

It boils down to a September 2014 post, during which one of Bleeping’s moderators, “Quietman7,” wrote that he could not recommend SpyHunter given “reports by customers of deceptive pricing, continued demands for payment after requesting a refund, lack of adequate customer support, removal (uninstall) problems, and various other issues with their computer as a result of using this product.”
