Guardia Civil issues warning for platform that many Portuguese people use and can put bank account at risk: "It can cost you all your life savings"

The Spanish Guardia Civil alerted, through a video on social media, that pirate IPTV applications – frequently downloaded to watch football for free – may contain malicious software capable of collecting passwords, displaying fake screens over legitimate banking applications, and intercepting SMS verification codes. The malware operates in the background, without visible signs, and only activates when the user opens the bank application, requesting credentials at a moment of greater vulnerability. Europol recommends installing applications only from official stores, checking permissions, and keeping systems updated. In Portugal, the Bank of Portugal advises immediate contact with the banking institution in case of suspected fraud.
