DOJ Seizes 400 Illegal FIFA World Cup Streaming Domains

The Department of Justice’s Operation Offsides seized nearly 400 domains used to illegally stream FIFA World Cup 2026 matches, an international takedown carried out with partner nations and industry stakeholders. Officials emphasized that unauthorized streaming sites frequently expose users to malware, malicious redirects, phishing campaigns, and data theft, and framed the seizure as part of a broader effort to disrupt criminal piracy networks and protect consumers from associated cyber risks.
