The way we watch our favorite series and movies today has nothing to do with a few years ago. We have the possibility to see it through the Internet. There are many pages that allow us to see Web streaming content without having to use television or be at the time a chapter is broadcast. However, this also brings security problems and that is why we see how malware can be distributed through Streaming websites.
There are many platforms that allow you to watch movies and series in Streaming from any device and of course it must be said that not all content is legal, logically. However common security and possible problems exist.
Something that we have to take into account and be very careful would be the fraudulent pages that do not actually show real videos. That is, we can reach a website where a supposed movie or series is advertised but actually clicking on the buttons does not play the video. It is possible that we are dealing with a site full of adware and that puts our security at risk.
In addition to the problems with fraudulent pages and ads infected with malware that we could find on these pages, we can also run into the problem of Phishing. We already know that it is very widespread through email or social networks, but even on streaming websites it could happen. In this case, they would ask us to register on a platform to access the content, but what they really want is to obtain our data and personal information.
How can we protect ourselves from malicious Web Streaming pages
Without a doubt and the most recommended is to avoid these pages 100% but, if in this case you decide to enter, using common sense is very important. Avoid websites that do not inspire trust, are riddled with adware and do not offer real guarantees. It is also advisable to have security programs and tools. They are very varied and it is important to protect the security of our equipment and thus prevent the entry of malware.
On the other hand, having the systems updated to the latest version is necessary. Sometimes vulnerabilities can arise that put the security of our systems at risk. Usually the manufacturers themselves release security patches frequently. In this way we reduce the risk.
