Spanish police have issued a warning about fraudulent applications targeting fans of the Barcelona versus Levante football match.

The Guardia Civil states that fraudulent streaming apps, often under names such as Futbol Libre, are rampant online. These applications pose as legal options to stream the game.

Unfortunately, they can harm smartphones and computers by installing malicious software. User passwords and personal data are at risk of exposure to theft.

Authorities recommend that supporters only use official and verified services to watch live matches. The scams exploit the high anticipation in the game to deceive users.
