  1. I am not a betting man, but I will pass on a dead certain prediction on the #worldcup bronze match as well as the final.

    France takes the bronze, Spain wins the final.

    How I know?
    The US idiot president has publicly expressed sympathy for England and criticism of Spain. So of course England will lose and Spain will win their respective matches.

    He may suck at most things he does, but he has proved to be an expert jinxer, and I don't expect him to fail now

  3. Having trouble finding a free 📺 streaming site for World Cup 🏟️ matches? This threat actor has you covered with thousands of websites for all 104 matches! ⚽

    We've been tracking a likely Vietnam-based actor that mass purchases expired domains (we call these dropcatch) and repurposes their existing web traffic to funnel visitors into illegal sports streaming sites, and then straight into a betting platform the same actor operates. The domain portfolio is a graveyard of real internet history: 2026worldcupnorthamerica[.]com (once cited by the Dallas Morning News and the US Men's National Team Facebook fan page), childreninachangingclimate[.]org (formerly a children's aid program), thebreastcancercharities[.]org (formerly non-profit The Breast Cancer Charities of America), and a domain officially used by major US grocery store chains involved in a large proposed merger. Collectively, this actor has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars acquiring dropcatch domains alone — a strong signal that dropcatching is a genuinely effective vehicle for cyber fraud. Behind all of it sits a staggering tech stack operated by a single actor: 5,000+ domains, illegal streaming services, CDNs, TDSs, trackers, cloakers, betting platforms, and mobile apps. That's not a side hustle, that's an enterprise. 🏗️

    While the platform largely targets Vietnamese-speaking users, as well as others in Asia and Oceania, the financial damage reaches much further. Sports authorities and broadcasters worldwide are 📉 losing revenue every time someone watches a live NBA 🏀 , MLB ⚾ :, esports 🎮 , poker 🃏 , or World Cup 🏆 match for free on one of these sites, and this actor has all of them covered.

    Some examples from the domains we've uncovered so far:
