On December 14, the Fubotv streaming television streaming television service led to users that users could not access the platform and their accounts. On this day, a long -awaited match was held between France and Morocco, which the audience could not see.
“Although the service was restored later on the evening of December 14, we considered it important to tell you that yesterday’s incident was not associated with any problems with the capacity of FUBO – we became the goal of the criminal cyber attack,” the co -founder and general director David Gandler wrote December 15 on the site Fubotv.
Twitter users expressed their dissatisfaction that they signed up for the service specifically for the World Cup. The cost of channels varies from $ 70 to $ 100 per month.
“Fubotv turned off a few minutes before the semi -final of the Morocco France World Cup is a corporate failure for all times” – wrote one of the users Twitter.
Fubotv notified law enforcement agencies about the incident and hired Mandiant specialists to respond to cyber attacks. The statement does not mention whether there were any evidence of leakage of customer data.
