SINGAPORE - A court order has been obtained requiring local internet service providers to block access to 50 more pirate domains linked to apps and websites showing English Premier League matches illegally.

He added that while most Premier League fans enjoy watching the football games legally, those who use illegal streaming sites, devices and apps are putting themselves at risk of being exploited by cyber criminals, who often use these platforms for data theft and scams. Over the past five years, more than 5,000 domains have been blocked in Indonesia, more than 2,500 in Vietnam and almost 300 domains in Malaysia.

In October 2024, a 37-year-old man who sold illegal streaming devices at Sim Lim Square was sentenced to 10 months’ jail by a Singapore court.
