“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?
I think sci hub used university accounts donated by users to access papers but I don’t know if they still do it tbh
Indeed. Half truths is also a lie
It’s pretty blatant FUD, luckily most people are completely desensitized to anti piracy propaganda at this point.

One of my professors recommended we use scihub…
afaiaa professors/researchers are generally pretty chill about it, since they are directly involved in this unfair expropriation of research :)
