As the European Championship kicks off, millions of viewers are flocking to their screens and football stadiums. However, cybercriminals are seizing this opportunity to exploit one of the most anticipated events of 2024. Kaspersky experts have discovered numerous scams designed to steal users’ data and money, all disguised as UEFA 2024-related offers.
Fake tickets
A traditional threat on the eve of any major offline event is ticket fraud, and this championship was no exception. Kaspersky experts have discovered a fraudulent page masquerading as a popular German energy company, offering a giveaway tickets to EURO 2024. Upon proceeding, users are prompted to fill out a form with their name, phone number, and address. This campaign is highly targeted, aiming at the victim company’s employees and partners, meaning fraudsters will take every advantage to infiltrate the target’s infrastructure.
Crypto fraud
Scammers are capitalizing on EURO 2024’s popularity by selling customized coins featuring popular players, promising impressive returns. For instance, Kaspersky experts discovered a scheme involving coins named after Harry Kane. These coins are heavily promoted by fraudsters through email blasts and social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Telegram. Eager traders, not wanting to miss out, rush to buy the coins, driving up their price. Once the price is inflated, the scammers sell their holdings, causing the coin’s value to crash within minutes.
Fake streams
Online viewers should also remain vigilant, as Kaspersky experts have discovered fake streaming platforms offering exclusive event coverage at low prices. Besides leaking payment and personal data, these sites may have built-in XSS vulnerabilities that enable attackers to control your browser.
Fake merch stores
Experts also found fraudulent online stores selling fan paraphernalia: uniforms, scarves, hats and anything else with a 40% discount. Needless to say, those who got lured never received the chosen item.
“These schemes around major events follow a familiar pattern—fraudsters simply change the lure based on current trends. However, we should not underestimate them, as they constantly adapt and find new ways to profit. For example, our recent discovery of cryptocurrency scams tied to popular players shows their ability to exploit emerging opportunities,” comments Olga Svistunova, security expert at Kaspersky.
To learn more about how to stay safe while enjoying the 2024 European Championship, visit Kaspersky Daily.
To stay safe from scams, Kaspersky experts share these tips:
Verify Authenticity: Only purchase tickets, merchandise, or services from official and reputable sources. Check the event’s official website for authorized sellers.
Be Skeptical of Deals: If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. Be cautious of deep discounts and exclusive deals, especially if they come from unknown sources.
Secure Your Data: Avoid sharing personal and financial information on unfamiliar websites. Ensure the website is secure by looking for “https” in the URL and a padlock symbol in the browser bar.
Use Security Software: Keep your antivirus and security software up to date to protect against malware and phishing attacks. Kaspersky protects its users from all types of phishing and scams.
Educate Yourself: Stay informed about common scam tactics and how to recognize them. Follow updates from cybersecurity experts and official sources.

Supported by the Ministry of Education and Alliance Bank as the Official Bank Partner, the campaign garnered over 4,000 submissions nationwide and continues to build on its mission to empower children with essential financial literacy and entrepreneurial skills, further solidifying Goodday Milk’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of kidpreneurs.

Goodday KidSTART 2.0 saw an overwhelming response, with a total of 141 schools across Malaysia participating enthusiastically. The campaign’s success was bolstered by on-ground roadshows covering the Central, South, and North regions, complemented by two online webinars in 27th April and 4th May. This year, Goodday Milk has included a new award for Schools With Highest Participants to encourage more participation. Taking first spot and a prize of RM10,000 was SJK (C) Puay Chai, with an impressive 478 entries with 3 students shortlisted in the Top 20. Olivia Leong Yue Shuen, recipient of the Most Sustainable Award is a student of SJK (C) Puay Chai, and was witnessed by Headmistress Yeoh Li Choo, who appeared during the grand finale to support her students in person.
This level of engagement reflects the growing impact of Goodday KidSTART, which was launched in 2022 and quickly became Malaysia’s largest kidpreneur programme. The initiative aims to raise awareness and promote better financial literacy among the younger generation. Recognizing the critical need for improved financial literacy among Malaysian youth, Goodday KidSTART aims to equip children with the essential knowledge to develop strong money habits early, setting them on a path to a financially sound future. By empowering children with entrepreneurial skills and the knowledge to develop strong money habits early, Goodday Milk is reinforcing its dedication to providing goodness not only through nutrition but also by enhancing the well-being of the community and promoting financial soundness for the next generation.
Amy Gan, VP of Etika’s Marketing, recalled the inaugural KidSTART while expressing her excitement about this year’s success: “When we launched KidSTART 1.0, our goal was to provide the future generation with a platform to showcase their ingenuity and take a significant step in their journey as young entrepreneurs. We wanted to empower them to make the right financial decisions through a fun and engaging initiative successfully bringing in over 300 applicants, making us Malaysia’s Biggest Kidpreneur Challenge. We had an amazing bunch of finalists and winners who truly won us over with their ideas and business plans.”
“For Goodday KidSTART 2.0 we wanted it bigger and better. We knew this was a task that required the fostering of strong relationships with partners who shared our vision for a more financially literate younger generation. We wanted to ensure we reached out to as many children as possible so they too can benefit from the campaign. With the help of the Ministry of Education, we were able to expand our search, bringing KidSTART 2.0 to more children via visits to schools nationwide as well as online webinars. I am truly grateful to the ministry, our sponsors Alliance Bank, and everyone who played a part in this year’s success, breaking last year’s record with over 4,000 participants taking part. This is truly a proud moment for me.”
She added, “My heartiest congratulations to our winners and top 20 finalists. Once again I am blown away by the depth of creativity and intelligence of our future generation. To the parents who played a part in their submissions, thank you. Your commitment to excellence for your children will leave a lasting and positive impact on their lives I’m sure. Goodday Milk is committed to providing goodness beyond nutrition and enhancing the well-being of our community. We look forward to welcoming more partners to join us in inspiring and future-proofing the next generation.
Dr. Aaron Sum, Alliance Bank’s Group Chief Strategy, Marketing, & Business Development Officer, and a member of the judging panel shared his thoughts: “Today, entrepreneurship has become a key and popular life path among our youths and this programme provides a great platform to nurture, develop and prepare the next generation in becoming savvy business leaders. This is very much aligned with our strategy of helping aspiring businesses, SMEs and MSMEs thrive and succeed by providing a combination of financial and non-financial resources.”
He further shared, “As the Bank for Life, we empower aspiring entrepreneurs and help accelerate their business growth through the provision of financial support, entrepreneurship training, coaching and mentorship as well as assistance in introducing ESG elements or sustainable practices to their business operations and many more. We are committed to supporting the community through programmes such as these to help our youth succeed in the future.”
9-year-old Lee Yumi, KidSTART2.0’s Champion expressed her excitement and gratitude: “Thank you to my parents who have greatly helped in inspiring this idea because without them I might not be able to present the idea in detail in front of the judges. I also want to thank Goodday Milk for giving me the opportunity to present my idea.”
Yumi’s idea to create the application arose after often getting stuck in traffic congestion on the way to school every day. “This application was also created to encourage students to use the school bus service as it can help reduce traffic congestion issues,” she said.
The esteemed panel of judges for the event included Ms Zakiah Hanim, Head of Communications & CSR of Lotuss Stores (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, Dato’ Dr. Hartini Zainuddin from Yayasan Chow Kit, Dr. Aaron Sum from Alliance Bank, Shahmeez Reza, Senior Manager of Trade Marketing and Marketing Services, and Chen Chow Yeoh, Angel Investor.
