Domain records were modified to use nameservers controlled by United States law enforcement agencies. Just minutes ago, signs of a second wave affecting at least dozens of domains may suggest an unpleasant anniversary surprise for Z-Library. zlibrary logozlibrary logoThis week marks the one-year anniversary of the United States government's crackdown on Z-Library, one of the world's largest shadow libraries. With legal proceedings underway in the United States, authorities have not given up trying to take Z-Library down. One of the site's primary login domains, singlelogin.me, was seized alongside other domains early May this year. Users were encouraged to switch to singlelogin.re, which remains operational today. The domain is supported by a laundry list of additional domains, subdomains, nameservers, and a maze of physical and virtual network infrastructure designed to keep the site alive in the event of new seizures. It's possible those new systems are being put to the test at this very moment. New Domain Seizures With Overseas Assistance In a move that coincides with the one-year anniversary of 2022's tumultuous events, a few hours ago nameservers controlled by the US Department of Justice began handling queries for two new domains. According to the seizure notice, Singlelogin.click and IPFS.cat were both connected to Z-Library. The image below shows how the domains transitioned from nameservers determined by their owners, to nameservers run by law enforcement authorities in the United States.

The white graphic to the right reveals the involvement of the Bundeskriminalamt, Austria's Criminal Intelligence Service, which serves as a national and international contact point for police cooperation in criminal matters. fbi-austria-seizure-bannerfbi-austria-seizure-banner The blue and red logo to the left is a reference to C4, Austria's Cybercrime Competence Center in Vienna. It Started With Two Domain Seizures, Dozens More On the Way To our knowledge, the first domain - Singlelogin.click - hadn't been widely or obviously publicized. However, with similar structure, functionality and an almost identical technical profile to other singlelogin.* variants, including those still in operation, the FBI appears to have had no problems scooping it up. Singlelogin.click No Longer Functions Like Thissinglelogin-click singlelogin-click At this point we originally intended to offer some detail on the IPFS.cat domain, but bigger news is literally breaking right now. We're supplying the following list of domains on the basis we believe they have already been seized or are about to be seized. Normally we would check each one to be absolutely sure, but the list is growing by the minute and we have no immediate prospect of keeping up. The most significant seizure thus far is another singlelogin variant, singlelogin.site. Z-Library's main domain, singlelogin.re, is currently intact but that could change at any moment. We'll continue to update this article for the rest of the day.

With two alleged Z-Library operators already detained in Argentina, rendering Z-Library inoperable was a primary goal. The question now is whether the United States government has returned to finish the job. * * Previous Post[svg][arrow-right] * * Tagged In: * austria * domain seizures * fbi * ipfs.cat * singlelogin.click * z-library You Might Also Like: [svg][iptv2-long-f1-500x210] Anti-Piracy 20 Pirate IPTV Arrests, EUR1.6m Seized; Held For 7 Months, Suspects Confess * October 25, 2023, 10:15 by Andy Maxwell [svg][jackrunning-featured-500x210] Lawsuits 'Home Confined' Z-Library Defendants Deny They Are Fugitives * September 14, 2023, 12:28 by Ernesto Van der Sar [svg][clouds-feat-500x210] Anti-Piracy IP Address Blocking Banned After Anti-Piracy Court Order Hit Cloudflare * August 11, 2023, 21:07 by Andy Maxwell ## Submit a correction or tip.
