Dozens of Pirate IPTV & Streaming Sites Face Potential ACE/MPA Disruption

Dozens of pirate IPTV suppliers and illegal streaming sites may be facing anti-piracy disruption in the weeks and months ahead. A fresh wave of documents filed in a US court shows that the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment is already investigating various platforms, including one that appears to pull videos from Warner Media’s official CDN, using Google as a proxy.

ace-new-smallWhen torrent sites, streaming portals and IPTV services suddenly disappear or find themselves fighting a lawsuit, it’s common for users to be taken by surprise.

Social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook and Reddit are suddenly alive with questions seeking information on what happened to Site X or IPTV Service Y but, in many cases, potential answers have been available for some time.

If a service’s domain has been seized, blocked by ISPs, or an IPTV subscription has abruptly come to a halt in the face of a lawsuit, early signs of trouble can often be found in US DMCA subpoena applications granted months or even years before.

Streaming Sites For The Future ‘What Happened?’ List

In recent weeks the MPA and Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment obtained new DMCA subpoenas that require Cloudflare and domain name registry Tonic to hand over the personal information of people behind dozens of sites and services.

The applications allege that the platforms have infringed member studios’ rights in a number of movies including Morbius, Joker, Frozen, Mortal Kombat, and Godzilla vs Kong, plus TV series Supernatural and Dark.

ace-subpoena request-00112

The first application requests information on the following web-based streaming services (Estimated monthly visits per SimilarWeb data, 163+ million visits total)

123moviesfree.so (2.9m), 123movieshub.tc (7.4m), 123watchmovies.co (1.3m), 2embed.ru (5.2m), blogdepelis.io (3.3m), cine-calidad.com (7m), cliver.me (1m), cuevana.pro (37.6m), cuevana3.cc (22.6m), d123movies.to (10m), dytt89.com (2.1m), ffmovies.sc (3.1m), pelisplay.co (1.5m), putlockers.li (7.1m), repelis.red (0.2m), repelis24.co (9m), seriesflix.video (2.4m), hackstore.la (4.7m), suzihaza.com (7.9m), televisionlibre.net (9m), we-play.live (4.1m), ymovies.to (2.5m), bflix.watch (3.7m), 123moviesfree.love (5m), pelis24.se (3.3m)

Ymovies.to is also referenced in another DMCA subpoena. It requires domain registry Tonic to produce information on the domain owner due to alleged infringement of the movies Frozen II and Minions.

IPTV Suppliers/Providers

IPTV providers, suppliers, facilitators and resellers remain key targets for ACE so regularly appear in DMCA subpoena applications. The latest pair list several domains and request the production of personal information related to them.

“The subpoena requires that you provide information concerning the individuals offering infringing material via the domains described above: magistv.net, 6iptv.com, xtremehdiptv.org,” the letter to Cloudflare reads.

“This would include the individuals’ names, physical addresses, IP addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, payment information, account updates and account history.”

DMCA subpoena applications for IPTV platforms are a little more detailed than those submitted against standard sites. As well as detailing the content allegedly infringed (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, for example), the main domain, and a portal URL (such as a Stalker directory or M3U file), backend URLs are also referenced.

In many cases, these URLs are simply IP addresses or domains followed by long alphanumeric strings but occasionally there’s a gem to be found.

In a DMCA subpoena targeting Cloudflare, listing vw-source.com and futbollibre.net as alleged infringers of the TV series Supernatural, the backend URLs appear to show Google being used as an HTTP proxy, to access streams made available via Warner Media’s official CDN.

iptv-warner media

Whether any of these sites and services will fall in the coming weeks and months remains to be seen but the existence of DMCA subpoenas shows that investigations are underway. Data held by Cloudflare often goes nowhere due to the company’s less-than-strict verification processes but there are many other ways to obtain intelligence too.

The IPTV subpoenas can be found here (1,2 pdf) and here (1,2,3 pdf)

An actively exploited Microsoft 0-day flaw still doesn’t have a patch

Microsoft downplays severity of vulnerability in all supported versions of Windows.

An actively exploited Microsoft 0-day flaw still doesn’t have a patch

Researchers warned last weekend that a flaw in Microsoft's Support Diagnostic Tool could be exploited using malicious Word documents to remotely take control of target devices. Microsoft released guidance on Monday, including temporary defense measures. By Tuesday, the United States Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency had warned that “a remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability,” known as Follina, “to take control of an affected system.” But Microsoft would not say when or whether a patch is coming for the vulnerability, even though the company acknowledged that the flaw was being actively exploited by attackers in the wild. And the company still had no comment about the possibility of a patch when asked by WIRED.

The Follina vulnerability in a Windows support tool can be easily exploited by a specially crafted Word document. The lure is outfitted with a remote template that can retrieve a malicious HTML file and ultimately allow an attacker to execute Powershell commands within Windows. Researchers note that they would describe the bug as a “zero-day,” or previously unknown vulnerability, but Microsoft has not classified it as such.

The weekend’s best deals: Switch Pro Controller, Fitbits, Roombas, and more

Dealmaster also has Sonos speakers, Steam gift cards, and Google’s Nest Hub.

The weekend’s best deals: Switch Pro Controller, Fitbits, Roombas, and more

Enlarge

Another weekend, another roundup of the best tech deals from around the web by the Dealmaster. Our latest collection of discounts includes a $15 cut for Nintendo's Switch Pro Controller, bringing it down to $55 at Amazon. While this isn't the all-time lowest price we've tracked, it is the best we've seen this calendar year. The controller itself remains a significant comfort upgrade over the Switch's standard Joy-Cons, so if you've been waiting to take the plunge, this looks to be a good time to pounce.

Elsewhere, we have a range of discounts on Roomba robot vacuums and mops, a "buy one, get one 15 percent off" deal on Steam gift cards, a lower-than-usual price on Google's Nest Hub smart display, and a Nintendo Switch Online bundle that nets you a 128GB SanDisk microSD card when you buy a 12-month Family Membership. We also have joint-low prices on a pair of Fitbit activity trackers we like—the stylish Luxe and well-equipped Versa 3, at $90 and $168, respectively—and rare discounts on Sonos' Move and Roam portable speakers. You can see our full lineup of handpicked deals below.
