RedTube Drops $6M Suit Over Traffic Redirection
RedTube has dropped its legal quest to seek out the parties that redirected all of its traffic last July, XBIZ has learned.
RedTube parent company Bright Imperial Ltd. of Hong Kong had waged a $6 million suit in damages against the unknown defendants named as John Does 1-20 who may have been responsible for the July 24 incident.
In its complaint, RedTube said defendants hacked in “with malice, ill will and intent to harm [the tube site].” RedTube said it lost “millions of visits” by its customers by the hackers’ efforts, as well as lost value to advertising rates that are dependent upon its traffic.
