Brazil is strengthening its efforts against digital piracy and cybercrime by adding 393 illegal websites to Wipo Alert, a World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) monitoring system. The National Council submitted the list for Combating Piracy and Intellectual Property Crimes (CNCP), an entity under the National Consumer Secretariat (Senacon) of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security.

This initiative aligns with previous law enforcement operations that blocked hundreds of illegal websites and apps, such as Operation Redirect and Operation 404. In addition to distributing copyrighted content illegally, these sites expose millions of consumers to fraud, data theft, and cyberattacks. They also host a high volume of illegal gambling advertisements, mainly targeting children and young people.

The list’s inclusion in Wipo Alert represents a significant step in international cooperation against piracy, reinforcing Brazil’s commitment to digital security and intellectual property protection.
