- Quiet Push reveals ITPTV Piracy Network that spans thousands of domains and addresses all over the world
- Pirate Copiation Networks that are linked to several companies affect global brands like Netflix and Disney
- A place has thousands of servers as consumers are facing fraud and malware -risks
A massive Internet protocol -tv -piracy network has been uncovered by researchers.
Silent Push says the network, which has apparently been active for years, extends over more than 1,000 domains and 10,000 IP addresses.
Analysts said the operation has affected more than 20 global media brands including Netflix, Disney Plus, Prime Video, Sky Sports and Premier League.
Fraud and malware -risici
The network involves a number of companies known to link to pirated content.
A place, JVTVLIVE, announces access to thousands of channels and movies and claims to serve 2,000 servers in 198 countries. The researchers said the site’s claims appear accurate.
Illicit IPTV providers often re -evaluate legitimate TV channels, sell access to premium content at low prices and rely on site clusters with changing domains and login information.
Silent Push said a place offers “$ 15/month for 22,500 channels and 100,000 Film & TV shows.”
While piracy networks earn strongly, consumers often face exposure to fraud and malware risks, resulting in fake credit card fees, data theft and infected devices.
The study noted that IPTV networks differ from general internet -streaming.
IPTV works on dedicated networks managed by providers, while streaming typically uses the open internet through apps and services such as Hulu or YouTube TV.
Silent Push -Investigators began with a single piracy domain associated with a much wider network.
The researchers were able to create a technical fingerprint connecting this first service to more than 10,000 IP addresses and 1,100 domains.
The analysts said much of the content appears to be unlicensed, although the final confirmation would require answers from each affected fire, which is a mammoth task in itself.
However, no evidence of legitimate licensing events has been found.
The research was presented in advance by a scheduled 23rd September webinar called “Stopping Piracy Distribution Networks on scale.”
