Kalisto (warez group)

Kalisto was a prominent warez group active primarily in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Their activity centered around the illegal distribution of copyrighted software, often referred to as "warez." Like other similar groups of the era, Kalisto specialized in cracking software copy protection and distributing it online, usually through FTP servers, Usenet, and later, peer-to-peer networks. Their releases often targeted commercial software applications and games. The group's activities were illegal and infringed on the intellectual property rights of software developers and publishers. Information about the specific individuals involved in Kalisto is limited, as these groups typically operated anonymously to avoid legal repercussions. The rise and fall of Kalisto coincided with the evolving landscape of software piracy and digital distribution.
