Agents of the National Police have arrested a cybercriminal in the Alicante town of Denia who illegally sold paid audiovisual content through the Internet and via satellite. The criminal network had the provinces of Alicante and Malaga as its center of operations, places where all the money that the detainee received for illegally supplying audiovisual content converged. It is estimated that the economic damage created amounts to more than 210.000 euros.

The investigators detected several channels in an instant messaging application dedicated to the illicit commercialization of paid audiovisual content, without having the necessary authorization or permissions, reaching more than 2.300 subscribers.

The detainee had a strong infrastructure

The alleged author had a strong technological infrastructure that managed the web pages to spread his illegal services. These pages showed articles where all the people who visited them were provided with the necessary knowledge to illegally view paid content. Likewise, they allowed users to illegally access multimedia content using mobile telephony and mobile televisions with Internet access.

As a result of the research work, it was found that this application had reached more than 50.000 downloads.

Analyzing the web pages, the agents observed that through them the possibility of subscribing to the television channels they offered was offered, the price of which varied depending on the duration of the contracted package and the number of devices on which one wanted to view it. .

Throughout the investigation, it was identified that the technological infrastructure through which this criminal act was committed was administered remotely from the United Kingdom and that with the number of clients they had, the criminal network could have obtained some 210.000 euros. .

    Be careful. CYBERCRIMINAL!

    Criminals are all the companies and groups of audiovisual media, pay television and all this gang of usurers, gangsters and swindlers.

    The gentleman of the news, what he is, is a Robin Hood of the digital age, and I wish there were more like him.
