Fmovies, the largest pirate streaming operator in the world, has been shut down by Vietnamese authorities, according to the Motion Picture Association, which had been working with police in the broad sting operation.
The piracy ring was taken down by the Hanoi Police, who disabled hundreds of affiliated streaming sites. Fmovies launched in 2016 and included websites like bflixz, movies7, myflixer and heymovies.
The Vidsrc.to domain was also taken down, as the ACE describes it as “a notorious video hosting provider operated by the same suspects.” The syndicate attracted more than 6.7 billion visits between January 2023 and June 2024, according to ACE.
