Is Streamonsport.info safe?

I first found Streamonsport.info while looking at sites that spread a certain subscription scam. This site allows sports streams to be viewed unofficially. It gets around copyright issues by streaming videos instead of hosting them. It’s always good to look for more official sites.

If you do visit Streamonsport.info and if you don’t use an ad blocker, you’ll notice right away that the site is full of ads. Not as ad banners, though they are here, too. Streamonsport.info shows ads with every other mouse click almost anywhere on its pages. It opens new browser tabs that lead to a lot of harmless and dubious websites:

• ads made to look like news articles,
• browser games,
• fake download pages,
• online stores,
• browser hijackers.

This makes Streamonsport.info very difficult to navigate if you’re not using an ad blocker. It’s hard to get to a specific sports stream and to finally play a video.

One ad that stuck out to me on Streamonsport.info was the fake register screen. This is a screen that tells you that, in order to watch sports streams on Streamonsport.info, you need to register with an email and a password. It promises free HD  streaming with no ads. Sounds too good to be true – because it is. This ad is for Mediaz247.com or a similar service. It’s deliberately made to look like part of the site that advertised it.

Mediaz247 and similar sites are in no way free. They cost around $50 per month and they’re absolutely not worth it. People get tricked to sign up for them, as you can see on this Trustpilot.com page. It’s legitimately dangerous.

As are some of the other ads shown on Streamonsport.info. Deceptive ads for cryptocurrency investment schemes, pages that trick visitors into installing fleeceware apps on their phones, and browser extensions that make unwanted changes to browser settings. It can be genuinely dangerous for your cybersecurity to interact with the ads that Streamonsport.info shows.

How to stay safe on Streamonsport.info

Block malicious pages

It’s best to use an ad blocker if you want to visit a site like Streamonsport.info. Ad blockers can block pop-up ads, as well as any pages shared by known spam advertising campaigns.

Just make sure that you use a reputable and trusted ad blocker. There are some fake ones out there, as described in this post on Adguard.com. Be very careful and make sure that you install your browser add-ons by following official links from their home pages.

It is also advisable to protect your device from malicious apps and programs with an anti-malware app, such as Combo Cleaner for macOS, Spyhunter for Windows, and others. It’s good to use an anti-malware app that can block malicious websites by detecting suspicious content.

Recognize malicious ads

Ad blockers are not perfect and they might let some ads slip past. So, it’s good to be able to recognize suspicious ads and to not interact with them.

Streamonsport.info shows ads for webpages that are not dangerous on their own; they’re only harmful if they manage to trick people into parting with their personal information, payment information, and to install unknown software. So, don’t share your personal information and your payment information with unfamiliar websites and don’t download browser add-ons just because a site tells you to.

Being protective of your personal information will help you stay safe on Streamonsport.info and other pirating sites by avoiding scams.
