Spanish police have issued a warning about fraudulent applications targeting fans of the Barcelona versus Levante football match.
The Guardia Civil states that fraudulent streaming apps, often under names such as Futbol Libre, are rampant online. These applications claim to be legal options to stream the game.
Unfortunately, they can damage smartphones and computers by installing harmful software. User passwords and personal data are at risk of exposure to theft.
Authorities urge that supporters only use official and verified services to watch live matches. The frauds exploit the high interest in the game to deceive users.
