I get the impression the police have not tried using sci-hub. They should give it a go!&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;If you&amp;#x27;re tricked into revealing your log-in credentials, whether it&amp;#x27;s through the use of fake emails or malware, we know that Sci-Hub will then use those details&lt;p&gt;I mean sci-hub doesn&amp;#x27;t do that. If they warn about anything it should maybe be that torrenting copyrighted stuff could make you liable for prosecution. Or that torrenting papers may be a gateway drug to torrenting MS Office which may well have malware.</text></comment>
