A YouGov survey in 2017 revealed five million Brits were using pirated TV streaming services – including with "illegal Kodi boxes" and "Amazon Fire TV chipped sticks".
Thieves could be emptying your bank as you watch sport & Disney films for free WATCHING telly on your “dodgy” Fire Stick might initially seem like a victimless crime - but it turns out YOU might actually be the hapless victim.
Experts have told The Sun that by streaming on a dodgy stick or app, which authorities and police are trying to crack down on, you risk instantly becoming a victim of fraud and even identity theft.
Brits have flocked to these “cracked” devices to watch premium telly like Amazon's Grand Tour, Sky’s Game of Thrones, and live sports like November's Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson boxing match.
Using a “dodgy” Fire Stick for piracy is unlawful, but some Brits are willing to take the risk of owning one to avoid forking out on TV fees.
