More popular Fire TV Stick streaming apps are BLOCKED as Amazon issues serious warning to all users
The tech giant had already blacklisted Flix Vision and Live NetTV, confirming to The Sun this week that the pair "exhibited malicious behaviour".
1
It now seems that the firm has targeted more potentially dangerous apps.
Blink Streamz and Ocean Streamz are the latest to be disabled, according to AFTVNews.
A message apparently appears on screen warning users that the two apps "can put your device or personal data at risk".
Ocean Streamz's website already flashes up as dangerous when trying to access it on Google Chrome.
People are able to download shady apps because of Amazon 's open source tech on Fire TV Sticks, meaning you can download apps from outside the company's own app store as you please.
Amazon has faced growing criticism for its response to illegal streaming.
Broadcaster Sky has hit out at the US firm, saying it does not do enough to tackle piracy.
Illegal streaming is estimated to be costing the industry "hundreds of millions of dollars".
Nick Herm, chief operating officer at Sky, recently accused Amazon of failing to do "enough engagement to address some of those problems, where people are buying these devices in bulk".
He also believes that modified Fire Sticks "probably" make up "about half of the piracy" in the UK alone.
Warning over 'jailbroken' Fire Sticks
Illegal streaming can be delivered by a number of devices by one of the most common are 'jailbroken' Fire Sticks, which means a third-party media server software has been installed on to it.
The software most commonly used is called Kodi.
It can grant users unrestricted access to new features and apps the normal version of the device wouldn't allow – but it is not legal to use in the UK.
But it becomes illegal when a box is used to stream subscription channels for free.
It is also illegal to buy or sell these modified devices which have become known as "fully-loaded" - a term that describes how the software has been altered to allow access to subscription-only channels.
"These devices are legal when used to watch legitimate, free to air, content," the government said at the time.
"They become illegal once they are adapted to stream illicit content, for example TV programmes, films and subscription sports channels without paying the appropriate subscriptions."

Lloyds Banking Group in talks to buy digital wallet provider Curve
Britain's biggest high street bank is in talks to buy Curve, the digital wallet provider, amid growing regulatory pressure on Apple to open its payment services to rivals. Sky News has learnt that Lloyds Banking Group is in advanced discussions to acquire Curve for a price believed to be up to £120m. City sources said this weekend that if the negotiations were successfully concluded, a deal could be announced by the end of September. Curve was founded by Shachar Bialick, a former Israeli special forces soldier, in 2016. Three years later, he told an interviewer: "In 10 years time we are going to be IPOed [listed on the public equity markets]... and hopefully worth around $50bn to $60bn." One insider said this weekend that Curve was being advised by KBW, part of the investment bank Stifel, on the discussions with Lloyds. If a mooted price range of £100m-£120m turns out to be accurate, that would represent a lower valuation than the £133m Curve raised in its Series C funding round, which concluded in 2023. That round included backing from Britannia, IDC Ventures, Cercano Management - the venture arm of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's estate - and Outward VC. It was also reported to have raised more than £40m last year, while reducing employee numbers and suspending its US expansion. In total, the company has raised more than £200m in equity since it was founded. Curve has been positioned as a rival to Apple Pay in recent years, having initially launched as an app enabling consumers to combine their debit and credit cards in a single wallet. One source close to the prospective deal said that Lloyds had identified Curve as a strategically attractive bid target as it pushes deeper into payments infrastructure under chief executive Charlie Nunn. Lloyds is also said to believe that Curve would be a financially rational asset to own because of the fees Apple charges consumers to use its Apple Pay service. In March, the Financial Conduct Authority and Payment Systems Regulator began working with the Competition and Markets Authority to examine the implications of the growth of digital wallets owned by Apple and Google. Lloyds owns stakes in a number of fintechs, including the banking-as-a-service platform ThoughtMachine, but has set expanding its tech capabilities as a key strategic objective. The group employs more than 70,000 people and operates more than 750 branches across Britain. Curve is chaired by Lord Fink, the former Man Group chief executive who has become a prolific investor in British technology start-ups. When he was appointed to the role in January, he said: "Working alongside Curve as an investor, I have had a ringside seat to the company's unassailable and well-earned rise. "Beginning as a card which combines all your cards into one, to the all-encompassing digital wallet it has evolved into, Curve offers a transformative financial management experience to its users. "I am proud to have been part of the journey so far, and welcome the chance to support the company through its next, very significant period of growth." IDC Ventures, one of the investors in Curve's Series C funding round, said at the time of its last major fundraising: "Thanks to their unique technology…they have the capability to intercept the transaction and supercharge the customer experience, with its Double Dip Rewards, [and] eliminating nasty hidden fees. "And they do it seamlessly, without any need for the customer to change the cards they pay with." News of the talks between Lloyds and Curve comes days before Rachel Reeves, the chancellor, is expected to outline plans to bolster Britain's fintech sector by endorsing a concierge service to match start-ups with investors. Lord Fink declined to comment when contacted by Sky News on Saturday morning, while Curve did not respond to an enquiry sent by email.

Starmer and Macron have picked an indomitable foe in Elon Musk
They didn't fix the migrant crisis, at least once you dig into the small print. They didn't end the war in Ukraine, and neither did they find a way to significantly increase trade or investment between the two countries. Still, France's President Emmanuel Macron and Britain's Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, did agree on one thing: they are going to outwit Elon Musk in one of the hottest new industries around, with a huge new investment in Eutelsat, the European challenger to Starlink. Seriously? Starmer and Macron versus Musk? There have been some unequal contests over the years, but this is off the scale. In reality, both men are simply chucking taxpayer's cash at a project that has little hope of success – and we will all be left to pick up the bill. With the arguments over asylum seekers taking up so much energy, and dominating the headlines, the one significant industrial agreement coming out of President Macron's state visit this week did not get so much attention. The Prime Minister signed up to take part in a fund raising by the French based satellite company Eutelsat. The UK will contribute £140m in fresh money, which will be enough to keep our stake of slightly over 10pc in a business that is now majority owned by the French government. The project already has a troubled history. The Johnson government invested in OneWeb, which was then taken over by Eutelsat after it ran into difficulties. But with the extra cash it will now be getting, the company and its backers are hopeful it will have a far better future. 'This investment reflects our commitment to support the development of these critical technologies and maintain an important stake in the global satellite communications sector,' said Peter Kyle, the Technology Secretary, as the deal was announced. In fairness, it is not a terrible idea. There is a big market for satellite communications, and plenty of customers might be interested in an alternative to an American owned system. With President Trump showing less and less interest in paying for European defence it looks as if the Continent will have to stump up for it itself, and it will be looking to buy domestic kit instead of always relying on the United States. Here's the problem, however: it will also have to compete with Musk's Starlink, a start-up that is already valued at more than $200bn (£148bn). In reality, competing with that emerging giant is going to prove very, very difficult. First, Starlink has a clear lead in the technology. True, satellite communications are not right at the cutting edge of science any more. Putting some kit into orbit has been fairly straightforward for many years. Even so, Starlink along with Musk's rocket company SpaceX has become a clear global leader in launching and running satellite systems reliably and at relatively low cost. Getting a system up and running and on budget, as well as offering competitive prices to customers, is a lot harder than it looks. The logistics, to put it mildly, are formidable. It is going to be very challenging for Eutelsat to keep up with that. Next, Eutelsat has a very difficult history. It was originally set up way back in 1977 as a partnership by 17 European countries to develop satellite broadcasting. It has been through number iterations since then without genuinely making a success of any of them. European cooperative ventures can be successful, as Airbus has shown, but more often than not they burn their way through a lot of government money without ever having anything very much to show for it. After all, if Eutelsat is not able to stand on its own two feet after half a century it is hard to believe that it ever will. Even worse, the business will be under the majority control of the French government, and the UK will merely be a minority shareholder. That doesn't sound like the kind of deal any self respecting investment bank would recommend accepting. In reality, Britain will be on the hook for the bills but will have little influence over how the operation is run Finally, it will be competing with Elon Musk. It would be hard enough to take the fight to Boeing or one of the traditional aerospace giants. But regardless of whether you love him or hate him – and there are plenty of people in both camps – Musk is clearly one of the smartest business tycoons in the world today. He can make quick decisions, and while a few of them go wrong, he is more often right than wrong. Musk will be able to shift with the market while the people at Eutelsat are still trying to arrange a meeting with the relevant ministers. It is hardly the best recipe for building a new business. Let's be honest about this. In one corner we have Sir Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron, two massively unpopular politicians. In the other, we have Musk, perhaps the world's most successful serial entrepreneur in the world today. I know who I would put my money on in that contest. The Prime Minister clearly still thinks he can pick industrial winners, even though there is nothing in his past record to suggest he has the faintest clue what makes a successful business work. President Macron may have bamboozled him into getting out his chequebook. 'Thanks to our British friends as they continue to follow us on the Eutelsat adventure!' he chirped on social media, with the air of a man who has just pocketed a couple of hundred million of someone else's money. 'We're over the moon to keep going with you. Together we go further.' Maybe it will. But it is unlikely to end well – and worst of all, it is the long-suffering British taxpayer that will end up footing the bill.
