Over 100 domains linked to piracy shut down

Illegal streaming sites raise scam risk by 3.5 times.

The High Court has ordered to block 26 illegal streaming sites and more than a hundred associated domains in Singapore.

The decision follows a similar order obtained by the Premier League last March to block sites used for illegal streaming.

Citing data from a recent study by Cyberstronomy, the Coalition Against Piracy (CAP) said there's a 48% chance that consumers will encounter cyber threats on the top 25 pirate sports streaming sites in Singapore.

CAP added that there is a 3.5 times greater chance of consumers being scammed when visiting these sites compared to when visiting mainstream sites.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
