UK police shut down a £3M illegal streaming ring, seizing £750K in equipment and arresting four in Greater Manchester.

UK police dismantled a major illegal streaming network linked to Sky TV content, arresting four people in Greater Manchester and seizing equipment worth over £750,000. The operation, prompted by Sky’s report of suspicious activity, targeted an unauthorized IPTV service that allegedly generated more than £3 million in revenue. Authorities say the network distributed unlicensed TV and sports content to millions, but individual users are not being prosecuted. The crackdown underscores ongoing efforts to combat large-scale piracy and associated cybersecurity risks.
