Researchers from HUMAN Security report that cybercriminals are profiting during the World Cup by selling stolen streaming accounts used to watch tournament broadcasts. According to the research, tens of millions of compromised accounts tied to World Cup–related streaming services are circulating online, with an estimated black-market value of nearly $220 million. HUMAN Security’s Satori Threat Intelligence team tracked activity across 10 streaming platforms that carry matches. In one reported day during the group stage, the team says 802,000 stolen accounts were released, indicating rapid turnover in the illicit supply. The accounts are posted and traded on dark-web marketplaces, where they are offered to fans seeking to access broadcasts without paying for legitimate subscriptions. The outlets reporting the findings emphasize that the scale of account compromise and resale is large enough to represent a substantial underground market during the tournament. The research also highlights that the activity is driven by consumer demand for World Cup viewing, even as the underlying accounts are obtained through unauthorized access.
