The New Jersey Cybersecurity & Communications Integration Cell (NJCCIC) identified more than 24,000 newly registered domains referencing the FIFA World Cup 2026, with the vast majority having no legitimate connection to FIFA, sponsors or official ticketing outlets.
According to NJCCIC, threat actors are using fake ticket sites, counterfeit merchandise stores, fraudulent streaming services and phishing pages designed to steal credentials and payment information.
To stay safe:
• Use official websites and ticketing platforms
• Avoid clicking sponsored search ads
• Check URLs carefully for misspellings or unusual domains
• Enable multi-factor authentication
• Be skeptical of heavily discounted offers and high-pressure sales tactics
As the tournament approaches, experts expect World Cup-themed scams to increase. Verify before you click, buy or share personal information.
