MultiChoice, in collaboration with Irdeto and the Western Cape Cybercrime unit, successfully arrested an individual believed to be involved in a large pirate streaming network.
The MultiChoice Group says it scored a major victory in its fight against Internet streaming privacy in South Africa after arresting a key suspect involved in Waka TV.
“This operation represents a major milestone in our relentless commitment to protecting MultiChoice Group’s content and the integrity of our broadcasting services,” said MultiChoice. Part of the process involves analysing the equipment seized during the raid, which is expected to provide additional insights into the pirate network.“MultiChoice is actively working with the police as investigations continue into the thousands of individuals connected to the Waka TV pirate network,” said MultiChoice.
The Waka TV operation illegally distributed live TV channels, including several movies, series, and channels from DStv. These include legal risks, cybersecurity threats, poor service, financial loss, and a lack of customer support.
