Fake iBomma Websites Are Back: How Did Pirated Movies Appear on the SBI Portal?

Fake iBomma sites on SBI portal: Cybercrime is rising rapidly, and scammers are now using fake websites to run large-scale piracy operations. In a shocking incident, pirated Telugu movies appeared on a website named SBI Term Insurance, raising questions about how cybercriminals are misusing trusted domains.

 Fake Websites Flooding the Internet

Cybercriminals are creating and launching thousands of fake portals using popular and trusted names. Their goals include:

  • redirecting users to piracy sites
  • stealing user data
  • generating illegal ad revenue
  • making money through malicious redirects

This trend has recently intensified, especially with the resurfacing of fake iBomma-type domains.

Pirated Movies on an SBI Insurance Page

A newly discovered website named SBI Term Insurance appeared normal at first glance. When users visited, it redirected them to a Term Insurance Lapse & Revival Guide page.

But unexpectedly, this page started displaying pirated Telugu movies—something no one expected from a site linked to SBI-related terminology.

This raised concerns about:

  • How scammers acquired the domain
  • whether the site was hacked
  • How trusted pages are being misused for piracy
  • The scale of cybercrimes happening in the background

iBomma Fake Sites Redirecting to Movie Rulez

Cybercriminals are also misusing the popularity of notorious piracy platforms like iBomma.

Examples include:

  • iBomma Plus → redirects to Movie Rulez
  • iBomma One → redirects to multiple piracy pages
  • Bappam and similar sites reappearing after shutdown

Even though Hyderabad CCS Police shut down earlier piracy networks, every time one site is closed, hundreds of new ones emerge.

Police Crackdown & Immadi Ravi Case

Previously, the police arrested Immadi Ravi, who was running:

  • iBomma
  • Bappam
  • several other piracy networks
  • Even with Ravi in custody, new websites continue to appear, raising doubts about:
  • Who is assisting these operations
  • How the cyber infrastructure is being set up
  • where the funding and technical support are coming from
  • Police teams are now investigating from multiple angles to uncover the larger network involved.

 How Fake Sites Used the SBI Name

The biggest shock is the usage of an SBI Insurance-related domain to promote piracy. Cybercriminals know that:

  • Users trust SBI-related names
  • High-authority domains rank quickly
  • More people click without suspicion
  • This method gives scammers a huge advantage in spreading pirated content and misleading users.

Ongoing Investigation

The emergence of pirated content on SBI-related portals has become a hot topic. Authorities are checking for:

  • domain misuse
  • redirection hacks
  • cloned website structures
  • third-party involvement
  • Cybercrime networks still active despite arrests
  • The investigation is ongoing, and more shocking details are expected to emerge.
