Streaming piracy has evolved into a complex criminal ecosystem in Asia, built on illicit IPTV services, account-resharing markets, pirate apps, and malware-infected ISDs. Consumers now face serious risks—including phishing, identity theft, botnet recruitment, fraudulent IPTV sellers, and loss of personal data—while platforms, banks, and regulators grapple with increasingly sophisticated piracy networks. This panel explores practical and coordinated responses to combat streaming piracy: strengthened platform moderation, advertising and payment-flow disruption, site-blocking and fast-track judicial processes, improved blocking systems, cross-border cooperation, and consumer-protection messaging that reframes piracy as a cyber-risk. Speakers will discuss how aligned action can significantly reduce harm and dismantle illicit streaming supply chains
