Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBD), among others.\nThe websites allegedly provided users with unauthorized real-time streams of copyright-protected World Cup matches as they were being officially broadcast.\nThe operation is part of a broader effort to disrupt international piracy networks that profit from high-profile sporting events.\nThe DOJ said authorities targeted servers and domains linked to the illegal streaming operation in Peru and Bulgaria. Additional enforcement actions were carried out in Croatia, Romania, Poland and Colombia.\nOfficials said the coordinated effort was aimed at dismantling infrastructure used to distribute pirated broadcasts to viewers around the world.\n\"These streamers not only violate copyright laws but also expose viewers to potential threats — including malware attacks and unsecure connections that can compromise personal and financial data,\" Eric Weindorf, special agent in charge at Homeland Security Investigations, said in a statement.\nThe enforcement action comes as the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues to draw record audiences across the U.S., Canada and Mexico.\nThe tournament, which began on June 11 and runs through July 19, has set an all-time attendance record, according to FIFA.\nLast week’s World Cup broadcasts ranked among the most-watched television programs, with the U.S.’ victory over Australia topping the ratings, Reuters reported, citing Nielsen data.\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nImage via Shutterstock\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"1","news_tag":"policyRegulatory","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"isLaohu8Offline":false,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.44.0","shortVersion":"4.44.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2646724391","isCrawlerRequest":true}
