Deceiving domain - bundesliga-streams.net
Bundesliga-streams.net is a deceptive domain that presents itself as a video streaming service, as well as a sports information site. Upon accessing it, users are prompted to allow push notifications - if accepted, they receive pop-ups from the site at regular intervals when using the computer. While such function is legitimate and used by many reputable websites, Bundesliga-streams.net pushes notifications that are not relevant to the site's content, i.e., sports.
Instead, users see ads that are click-bait, promoting various scams and quick-to-earn-money hoaxes. Once clicked, the pop-up redirects users insecure websites that might result in personal information disclosed to unknown parties/cybercriminals, as well as money loss.
Bundesliga-streams.net also offers video streaming services - users can allegedly view various sports events for free. However, as soon as they proceed with one of the videos, they are first asked to create a "free" account by entering their email address and password - disclosing this information is already an insecure activity. To finalize the registration, visitors are asked to enter their credit card details for verification purposes. Nevertheless, credit card information also includes a CVV code, which permits unknown parties to use the bank account to make illegitimate transactions.
