At Least 40 Fake FIFA World Cup 2026 Ticket Sites Linked To Fraud Network: Report
FIFA World Cup: At least 40 fake FIFA World Cup 2026 ticketing websites linked to a fraud network involving 15 active cybercriminal operators have been identified, according to a report released on Friday.
The report by cybersecurity firm CloudSEK said the operation goes beyond traditional phishing scams and uses cloned FIFA ticketing platforms, real-time card skimming and potential OTP interception capabilities to steal payment information from unsuspecting users.
The fraudulent websites closely mimic legitimate FIFA ticketing portals, featuring official-looking branding, match schedules, stadium information, shopping carts, payment gateways and secure checkout messages designed to gain users' trust, it said.
