Cybercriminals love a good media event. Scammers use popular television shows like Game of Thrones or movies like Star Wars as vectors to spread malware and phish personal information from people online. The more popular the movie or TV show, the easier it is to trick people into giving up their personal information for a chance to see it early or without paying. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is just the latest bait on the hook. If you see someone online offering a stream of the movie, it could be a phishing attempt.

Researchers at the cybersecurity and antivirus company Kaspersky Lab found more than 30 websites and social media profiles attempting to phish Star Wars fans. The scam sites promise users the chance to watch Star Wars: the Rise of Skywalker for free before its theatrical release, but collect a users’ credit card data, claiming the numbers are necessary to start the stream.
