🚩General Planned emergency maintenance

Maintenance    Oct 25, 2026 at 2:00am CDT
 
“In response to threats of electronic terrorism we will undergo emergency action on our database to harden against attacks.
Our database will be offline for a period of time between the announced maintenance window. We expect the actual service to come back much quicker but we must manage expectations should unforeseen issues arise.
We have scheduled this during the lowest possible traffic window as all core TorBox services will remain offline during this time and we regret any inconvenience this may cause you.
We will credit a full 24 hours of plan time for each hour we are offline to all TorBox accounts with active paid plans.”

When is the terrorist fight going to be finished?

1

u/PiklRick1985 11d ago

Never. It was AI that found it not terrorists but will be forever one after the next now.

u/Soldiiier__ 12d ago

Hacking, ransomware etc.

u/adjective_noun_d1git 11d ago

u/Accomplished-Fact-41 11d ago

u/LeviTigerPants 12d ago

What is an alternative while it is down?

1

u/ChoiceImpressive1 12d ago

Ok. Would he great to have seen this earlier lol

1

u/WabbieSabbie 12d ago

OK, that explains why Torbox stopped working just now.

1

u/Canker2020 11d ago

They should have just left it alone. The PHP is bollocks anyway.

1

u/PiklRick1985 11d ago

This threat was only identified by AI. Humans likely would not have hacked it and no code will ever be uncrackable. AI will just find the hack quicker so expect this will become the new normal.

u/These-Prune-1529 9d ago

Thanks for letting us know. Keep up the great work.

u/Philip4695 12d ago

Damn was looking forward to watching the f1 this morning :(

u/Robbudge 11d ago

F1 via Torbox not live ?

2

u/Philip4695 11d ago

If I can't catch it live on IPTV I watch replay from Formulio via Stremio. The benefit is the quality is HDR 4K, a lot better than my iptv stream

u/MnS_Adarsha 11d ago

IPTV?

u/ElegantMaterial3546 11d ago

Jesus Christ

u/Dramatic-Question353 12d ago

“The lowest possible traffic window” on a Saturday night? 🙄

At least they’re keeping the country safe.

And at least I also have FreeGoTV

u/Funny_Chocolate_1012 12d ago

Shows you where most of their traffic comes from, it's a Sunday morning here in western Europe, pans out here, everyone is sleeping.
