A phishing scam has been uncovered that impersonates rightsholders like HBO and Warner Bros and sends fake copyright infringement notices and settlement demands to internet service providers (ISPs) in the UK, US and Australia.
The scam, which comes in the form of a letter from well-known anti-piracy firms, aims to trick the ISPs into forwarding the notices onto the targeted customers and is using high-profile TV shows like Game of Thrones in its ploy.
