Hacker sends warning to Brits planning to illegally stream Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson using IPTV and Fire Sticks

Hacker sends warning to Brits planning to illegally stream Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson using IPTV and Fire Sticks

Paul takes on Tyson at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Saturday morning (UK time).

An expert hacker has sent a warning to people planning to stream Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson on illegal IPTV devices or Fire Sticks.

Paul vs Tyson takes place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in the early hours of Saturday November 16 (UK time).

Tyson, 58, will contest his first professional bout since 2005 after the original date of July was postponed after he suffered an ulcer flare-up on a flight.

'Iron Mike' will reportedly have to pass two medical tests before he can set foot inside the ring in Texas, but the two fighters are otherwise preparing for one of the most highly-anticipated bouts of the year.

The full card will be broadcast by Netflix in what will be the streaming giant's first ever live boxing event. It will be available to all new and existing subscribers.

In recent years, viewers have turned to IPTV and Fire Sticks due to the rising subscription costs and the sheer amount of platforms that are broadcasting live sport.

Those offering these services will often charge a lower rate than the official copyright holders, and millions of people use the services around the world.

Expert hacker Jenny Radcliffe has sent a warning to viewers who attempt to illegally stream live sport such as Paul vs Tyson.

She said: "The perception that illegal streaming is a victimless crime is completely inaccurate.

"The sites that host these services are loaded with malicious links, back doors and tricks to access people's digital and financial information, giving professional criminals an open invitation to steal from anyone who engages in these activities.

"Whether it's multiple charges to credit cards, installing malware on devices, accessing bank accounts, or stealing personal information such as emails, messages, contacts, photographs, documents and browsing history, engaging in illegal streaming makes you a prime target for professional fraudsters.

"And what is worse, because these activities are illegal, victims may have little or no recourse for recovering their losses and may even face criminal charges themselves."
