    “If you’re tricked into revealing your log-in credentials, whether it’s through the use of fake emails or malware, we know that Sci-Hub will then use those details to compromise your university’s computer network in order to steal research papers,” he said.

    As far as I can tell this is misinformation. Anyone know what they are talking about here?

    The BBC is really shit these days. Absolutely no context about how parasitic the sciientific publishing industry is at all.

      yeah, i’m also curious, you don’t actually need to log in or register to access studies via sci hub, so are they literally making this up or what?

    It’s pretty blatant FUD, luckily most people are completely desensitized to anti piracy propaganda at this point.
