Fake Streaming Sites and Malware Threaten Fans of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey
Since Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey premiered in cinemas in July, no legal home viewing options exist, creating opportunities for scams. Cybersecurity firms report fake streaming sites that mimic legitimate platforms, asking for personal and card details without providing the film. Additionally, pirated download scams distribute malware like Lumma Stealer, targeting users seeking illegal copies. UK group BeStreamWise warns that submitting information risks financial theft and repeated fraud attempts. Users are advised to avoid suspicious sites and not run unknown video files as programs.
