Bundesliga-streams.net is a scam-ridden website that might leave your bank account details compromised

Bundesliga-streams.net

Bundesliga-streams.net is a German sports-oriented website that asks users to enable notifications upon entry. Once accepted, pop-ups will be shown directly on their screens, regardless if Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, MS Edge, Mozilla Firefox, or another browser is not being used. Bundesliga-streams.net also offers a streaming function for various sports events and games allegedly for free. Nevertheless, once users try to watch a match, they are asked to create an account on a dubious site,  allsports4free.live, which was described by Fortinet researchers as a fraud.[1]

Because Bundesliga-streams.net focuses on sports, one might think that the site would show push notifications that are related to it. However, users might be shown pop-up ads that are completely irrelevant not only to users' interests but also to sports. Additionally, Bundesliga-streams.net might also show ads that a fraudulent and seek to direct users to tech support scams, spoofing,[2] or similar unsafe sites.

Type Deceptive site/scam
Targeted country Germany
Aim The website seeks to make users subscribe to notifications that will display predetermined affiliate links to possibly insecure websites. Additionally, users are offered a sports video streaming services that seek to gain access to users' credit card information
Potential dangers  When tricked by attractive deals or ads, users might register to dodgy “quick earning” schemes, download potentially unwanted programs or malware, disclose credit card details, etc.
Elimination  To stop Bundesliga-streams.net notifications, you should check the instructions in our removal section. If you installed any programs of unknown origins, scan your computer with security software
Further actions  If you provided sensitive information on the website, you should immediately change passwords on relevant accounts. Additionally, if anti-malware found any unwanted apps or viruses, we recommend using FortectIntego post-removal to fix the damage done

Bundesliga-streams.net virus is a term that users use to describe persistent pop-ups that they see on their desktops after allowing notifications from the site to be shown. The push notification feature is genuine and was first introduced by Google in 2012, and soon adopted by most of the other popular browsers like MS Edge and Mozilla Firefox. However, malicious actors soon adapted push notifications as a new way to insert advertisements into users' computers.

Unfortunately, but Bundesliga-streams.net does not only insert adverts that are irrelevant to the website's content but also might show ads that are potentially dangerous. For example, users might encounter a scam pop-up that will direct users to a site that claims fake virus infections and prompt them to download scareware, which might even damage the computer system in some cases.

Therefore, do not trust the ads that are being promoted via the pop-ups, and instead remove Bundesliga-streams.net notifications via web browser settings. If you noticed suspicious browser behavior after that, you should scan your machine with anti-malware software to make sure no infection is hiding inside – if that is the case, use FortectIntego after Bundesliga-streams.net virus elimination to repair corrupted registries and other elements.

  • 2019rugbyworldcup[.]online
  • just-watch-it[.]com
  • live-sport-streams[.]com
  • taew5[.]com
  • yxyug24kwhqe[.]com

However, once users proceed to the next step, they are asked to enter their credit card information to allegedly verify their country of origin due to licensing laws. Of course, the Bundesliga-streams.net guarantees 100% confidentiality:

Tips to avoid being scammed online

Video streaming services have been booming since the time our internet connections became fast enough and hardware that provides access to hundreds of thousands of videos became capable of holding so much data. Some streaming sites are free (such as YouTube) – they earn revenue from ads, and also allow content creators to upload videos. However, when it comes to hosting copyright material, rules are completely different.

In general, downloading or streaming content that is otherwise paid for is not legal, and multiple websites have been shut down and owners prosecuted by authorities. Illegal video sharing is also notorious for malware distribution, as shady sites often fail to implement adequate security measures and allow unknown users to upload files or sell ads pace to cybercriminals.

In most recent years, video streaming has also been used by malicious actors that promise free content allegedly for free. As soon as users try to watch the video, they are asked to provide their credit card details, however (reasons for such actions may vary, but crooks always are trying to sound reasonable). Thus, NEVER provide your credit card details or any other personal information on fake streaming sites.

Instead, opt for legitimate services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and many others – the fee is relatively low, and you will get access to thousands of videos, without being exposed to online risks like malware or fraud.
