In addition to the series and movies broadcast on various platforms on the Internet, most of the league matches are broadcast on special broadcast platforms. Users who do not want to pay for these platforms watch the content they want for free on pirated sites. In the past months, a bill was submitted to the parliament regarding sites that broadcast pirated matches, and legal action was initiated against these sites.
Recently, a study was conducted by Opentext Security Solutions on 50 popular illegal broadcasting sites abroad. After the analysis, it was revealed that users who watch illegal matches, series and movies are in great danger. According to the report, some sites can get all the information of users, up to their bank accounts.
Bank accounts can be emptied even if no information is entered
Almost all of the illegally broadcasting sites contain malicious links. Stating that most sites do not have the necessary security certificate, the research team explained that users are constantly exposed to advertisements and what they watch is often fragmented. Users who are exposed to a bombardment of advertisements face a great danger.
Watching TV series that have just started broadcasting or the matches of the world’s biggest football teams for free can attract users. However, even clicking anywhere other than the advertisement on the site can cause theft of bank information as well as personal information. As a result, all the money in the bank is transferred to another account.
There are plenty of trojan horses on the sites.
The researchers noted that there are many different types of dangers on such sites, but the most dangerous of them are banking trojans designed to steal people’s money. According to experts, the way such viruses access computers is quite simple. These viruses, which can be found even on the button where the user is trying to turn up the volume, can infect your computer or smart TV because of the site opened in a new tab with a single click.
All information can be captured with a single click, without the need for users to enter any information. In addition, such sites can expose users to 18+ content and create problems for families who want to watch something with their children.
