Threat intelligence firm issues caution against malicious streaming app

A routine complaint from a parent has led a Belagavi-based IT professional to detect a malicious steaming mobile application that seems to be spreading fast among youngsters.

Swapneel Patnekar, who is the founder of cybersecurity and threat intelligence company, Shreshta IT Technologies Pvt. Ltd., began working on Pikashow, an app offering free streaming of films, web series, sports and live television, after a parent complained to him that his children and their friends were addicted to it.
