Device 'used for industrial scale theft' of premium TV sports events
ILLEGAL streams of live sport via kit like Amazon's £25 Fire Stick are used by criminals to steal credit card details and infect users' devices with malware.
A new report by Enders Analysis says pirated video was an "enticing store front" used by crooks and accused big tech of not doing enough to tackle "industrial scale theft".
It found that illegal streams are now used by one in eight people aged 16 to 24 and called combating it a "formidable challenge".
It accused big tech firms of a combination of ambivalence and inertia" by failing to shore up security while "simultaneously steering consumers to illegal services".
