Sitting here thinking about IPTV players…especially free ones. I bet it would be easy to hack, get access to IPTV credentials. Password, Username and url port addresses. Someone could use the credentials for themselves, sell them or give them away.
Wonder if that is how Ola works? I recently came across someone giving free credentials for ~ 200 users. Tried, sure enough worked.
Which is why you protect your network and dont out any personal info on any of that stuff. All things could be potentially hacked. So if you use an iptv service dont have payment or personal info on that box. Keep things to a minimum. Typically you shouldn’t have to worry about that unless you are with some sketchy folk.
Word to the wise:
All iptv providers can see everything you watch, your ip adress thats connected to their network and probably your device info.
This is why i say use a vpn with an iptv service. If they tell you ditch it ditch them
