KrebsOnSecurity documents a widespread scam where fake Facebook groups for funerals and other events link to newly registered streaming sites (e.g., `livestreamnow.xyz`) that demand credit card payments or donations; the investigation identifies clusters of look-alike domains hosted at IP 148.251.54.196, shared DNS/hosting providers (webhostbd.net, cloudswebserver.com), and registrant metadata tying the infrastructure to individuals in Bangladesh, while stealer logs from a compromised admin PC revealed stolen credentials and browser history used for attribution and IOC discovery.
