Video-Game Piracy Group 'Team Xecuter' Leaders in Custody

The Department of Justice (DoJ) has nabbed two alleged leaders of a global, notorious video-game piracy group called Team Xecuter.

The two leaders in custody, Max Louarn (48, a French national of Avignon) and Gary Bowser (51, a Canadian national from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic), allegedly led the criminal enterprise’s efforts to hack popular video-game consoles so they could be used to play pirated copies of video games. The DoJ also charged Team Xecuter member Yuanning Chen, 35, a Chinese national of Shenzhen, China.

Video-game manufacturers govern the use of major consoles to play copyrighted video-game titles with end-user licensing agreements, which prevents anyone from duplicating, modifying and selling the software. In addition, console manufacturers and game developers implement various technical measures – from specific game cartridge designs to cryptographic keys on the software – to prevent the use of unauthorized firmware that could be used to play pirated video games.

Team Xecuter, which says in underground advertisements that it’s been around since 2001, has bypassed these measures by developing and selling illegal “circumvention” devices. One example is a USB device that the group sold starting in 2018 called the SX Pro, which allows the Nintendo Switch console to run pirated games.

Beyond the Nintendo Switch, the cybercrime group also targeted popular consoles such as the Nintendo 3DS, the Nintendo Entertainment System Classic Edition, the Sony PlayStation Classic and Microsoft Xbox.

“These defendants were allegedly leaders of a notorious international criminal group that reaped illegal profits for years by pirating video game technology of U.S. companies,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian Rabbitt of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, in a Friday announcement. “These arrests show that the department will hold accountable hackers who seek to commandeer and exploit the intellectual property of American companies for financial gain, no matter where they may be located.”

According to court documents, the Team Xecuter group is comprised of more than a dozen individual members worldwide. That includes: Developers who exploit vulnerabilities in video-game consoles and design the circumvention devices; website designers who create the various websites promoting and advertising these devices; suppliers who manufacture the devices; and resellers who distribute the devices.

According to the DoJ, the group has continuously evaded law-enforcement efforts by using a wide variety of brand names, websites and distribution channels. Between June 2013 through August 2020, for instance, Team Xecuter used a variety of product names for its devices, such as the Gateway 3DS, the Stargate, the TrueBlue Mini, the Classic2Magic and the SX line of devices (that includes the SX OS, as well as the SX Pro, the SX Lite and the SX Core). The group also allegedly masked its illegal activity by pretending to support gaming enthusiasts who wanted to design their own video games for non-commercial use.

The DoJ also said that behind the scenes, Team Xecuter was supporting online libraries of pirated video games for its customers, and several of the devices also came preloaded with numerous pirated games. Ironically, the group also used a licensing scheme to protect its circumvention software from being pirated, the department said.

“According to the indictment, Team Xecuter was so brazen that it even required customers to purchase a ‘license’ to unlock the full features of its custom firmware, the SX OS, in order to enable the ability to play pirated video games,” according to the DoJ.

The video-game and enthusiast markets are lucrative industries for cybercriminals. A recent report highlighted that credential-theft targeting hardcore gamers has hit an all-time high as scams, illicit markets and account takeovers have become a booming business. Meanwhile, hackers are scoring more than a million dollars annually selling compromised accounts for the popular Fortnite video game in underground forums.

Video-game companies are cracking down on these security challenges, and in particular the issue of piracy – with Nintendo filing two lawsuits against Nintendo Switch piracy resellers that were part of Team Xecuter, as well as against UberChips, a website that sold Team Xecuter’s hardware. Last week, UberChips agreed to a $2 million settlement with Nintendo.

Best Electric Bikes and Scooters for Rental Business or Campus Facility

The electric scooter revolution has caught on super-fast taking many cities across the globe by storm. eScooters, a renovated version of old-school scooters now turned into electric vehicles are an environmentally friendly solution to current on-demand commute problems. They work on engines, like cars, enabling short traveling distances without hassle. The result is that these groundbreaking electric machines can now provide faster transport for less — cheaper than Uber and faster than Metro.

Since they are durable, fast, easy to operate and maintain, and are more convenient to park compared to four-wheelers, the eScooters trend has and continues to spike interest as a promising growth area.

The e-Scooter revenue model will also spike and is projected to rise by more than 20% amounting to approximately $5 billion.

And, with a necessity to move people away from high carbon prints, traffic and congestion issues brought about by car-centric transport systems in cities, more and more city planners are developing more bike/scooter lanes and adopting zero-emission plans. This is the force behind the booming electric scooter market and the numbers will only go higher and higher.

Companies that have taken advantage of the growing eScooter trend develop an appthat allows them to provide efficient eScooter services. Such an app enables them to be able to locate bike pick-up and drop points through fully integrated google maps.
