World Cup fraud, US military location targets, IBM and Red Hat go Project Lightwell

Researchers at Group-IB say a Chinese-speaking fraud network dubbed GHOST STADIUM has set up more than 300 fake FIFA ticketing sites across thousands of domains to target fans ahead of the 2026 World Cup. The phishing pages reportedly mimic FIFA’s login flow to steal credentials and payment details, then redirect victims to the real site, while some can trigger password resets to lock users out and resell legitimate tickets.
