Why Cyber-criminals Lure Persons to Malicious Websites?

If you are taken to websites which claim that you can watch the 2014 FIFA World Cup match, Brazil vs Croatia online, and ask to complete surveys, download software, share or "like" the websites, in order to watch the game, please leave the websites and do not follow any instructions on them.

This is how cyber-criminals infect your computer with viruses, Trojan horse, and other malware. Also, this is how they trick you into making money for them when you complete the surveys or just visit the website to view the advertisements on them.

It is important that you remember that you do not need to install any software, take surveys, share or like a website in order to view a video or stream content. If you are asked to do these things, some cyber-criminal on the internet is attempting to scam you.

Now, these cyber-criminals will continue to trick internet users into installing malicious software or stealing their information, by luring them to malicious websites and claiming that they watch live streaming of the 2014 FIFA World Cup games for free.
