Another game-related site is Mpgh.net, which offers a wide variety of hacks and cheats.
“Mpgh.net is an example of a site that provides “cheats” and reportedly offers several hundred thousand free cheats to over 4 million users. The site generates revenue through advertisements and by offering premium accounts, and Internet browsers reportedly detect and warn of malicious content on the site,” the USTR writes.
The malware angle is brought up more often by the USTR, which references various reports which found that pirate sites are often linked to the spreading of malicious content.

Bad color scheme.
Surprised forums like MPGH havent gotten this kind of attention before... a lot of money moves around on this website.
The US federal government mentioning MPGH by name is such an absolute mindfuck for me right now.
What the actual shit.
Thankfully they only seemed to mention video game accounts and phishing and not all the other dubious account sales and social engineering for other services sold here.
"The USTR report continues with mentions of popular cyberlockers such as Openload, Uploaded, and Rapidgator."
lmao yeah I think we're fine, what a dumbass list the USTR has put together. List was probably made after some 70 year old boomer was tasked by the president's cabinet to 'lock up the cyber' as Trump has said.
"“FlokiNET is an example of the growing problem of hosting providers that do not respond to notices of infringement or warning letters that the provider is hosting and supporting known infringing websites,” USTR writes."
Maybe because Floki is hosted in Iceland, Finland, and Romania, and literally not subject whatsoever to DMCA laws. Christ our government is retarded.
They also have vk.com and taobao on here, holy shit whoever wrote this list for the government is actually mentally disabled.
