VdoCipher's Piracy Detection Engine Blocks 250,000+ Video Piracy Attempts in 12 Months
PRNewswire Gurugram (Haryana) [India], July 2: In today's digital world, protecting premium video content is more critical than ever. While streaming has unlocked global reach for OTT platforms, educators and creators, it has also opened the door to piracy, a billion-dollar threat affecting industries from entertainment to online learning. VdoCipher, a secure video hosting platform trusted by OTT and Education businesses worldwide, is tackling this head-on. In just 12 months, its technology has blocked over 250,000 video piracy attempts. At the heart of this effort is VdoCipher's Piracy Tracker and Hacker Detection Engine -- a proprietary system that combines behavioral video streaming analytics with authentication data. This powerful tool helps content owners detect and stop sophisticated piracy attempts before they cause harm. The Problem That Most Don't Want to Talk About Piracy today isn't just about shady torrent sites -- it's faster, harder to trace, and shockingly easy to access. From Telegram groups to students unknowingly sharing login credentials, video piracy has become decentralized and widespread through anonymous forums and private channels. For creators and educators, the impact goes far beyond lost revenue. "When teachers hold back their best lessons out of piracy fears, it's the students who suffer," says Siddhant Jain, CEO of VdoCipher. "Great content deserves a safe space online." Even an industry-standard like Google Widevine DRM has shown cracks over the past three years. That's why the next line of defense is essential: VdoCipher's Piracy Detection Engine -- a smarter way to detect, track, and block misuse in real time. Behind the Scenes of the Piracy Detection Engine Launched just a year ago, VdoCipher's Piracy Detection Engine is built on a powerful idea: stop misuse before it causes damage. It uses behavioral pattern recognition across 12 key data points and over 300 user/device parameters to track suspicious activity -- like frequent device switching, mismatched locations, emulator usage, DRM-breaking attempts, or efforts to rip video streams from unauthorized environments. The system flags potential threats in real time and gives content owners an actionable dashboard to block sessions, restrict playback, or even trigger legal steps. By spotting unusual usage patterns -- such as high session counts, unauthorized device playback, or too many devices per user -- VdoCipher helps detect and prevent credential sharing and video piracy. Detailed session logs and playback insights make it easier to stay one step ahead of piracy and secure one's video content. In 12 months, the results have been significant: - 250,000+ sessions blocked for potential piracy attempts - 2100+ unique users identified for sure piracy attempts - 900+ users permanently blocked by VdoCipher's customers - 70+ users against whom legal action was initiated "We're not just encrypting content. We're reading how it's being consumed, and then using that data to secure it in real-time," says Vibhav Sinha, CTO at VdoCipher. A Shift in the Global Content Security Landscape VdoCipher's technology is now deployed across more than 3,000 video platforms across 120+ countries, supporting over 10,000 content creators and educators. The company estimates it has helped its clients save $150 million+ in potential revenue loss, helping these businesses generate over $500 million of video revenues. This isn't just about technology, it's about trust. With the global video-on-demand market projected to reach $250 billion by 2030, the need for piracy-proof infrastructure will only grow. Companies investing in premium content, be it in edtech, media, OTT, fitness, or corporate training, can no longer afford to rely solely on traditional DRM. As VdoCipher's CEO puts it, "If we want the best teachers, filmmakers, and content creators to go online, we must give them a secure environment they can trust. That's our mission." About VdoCipher VdoCipher provides smart video player and piracy protection solutions tailored for media, OTT & educational organisations. VdoCipher serves 3000+ business customers across 120+ countries.

Pregnant minor dies by suicide after ‘rape'; 3 held
Hisar: A 16-year-old girl from a village in Fatehabad district died by suicide after allegedly enduring months of sexual assault, prompting police to arrest three suspects and launch a wider investigation, authorities said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The teenager, a Class-XI student, died on Sunday after consuming pesticide. She was pregnant at the time, and the fetus did not survive. Her death has intensified scrutiny of local authorities and raised fresh concerns over the safety of minors in Haryana. The case has sparked outrage in the local community, with calls for swift justice and greater protection for vulnerable minors. Police said the girl was taken to Tohana's civil hospital after falling seriously ill, then transferred to Maharaja Agrasen Medical College in Hisar's Agroha, where she died during treatment. Her family claimed her ordeal had begun in Sept last year when a woman from the neighbourhood allegedly lured the girl to her home, offered her a drink laced with sedatives, and locked her in a room with four boys. The family claims the group raped her, recorded the assault, and blackmailed her subsequently. The girl, later, confided in her mother and maternal uncle, revealing that she had been raped repeatedly by a neighbour's nephew — a local labourer — over several months and threatened with violence if she spoke out. The girl's mother said, "My daughter told me that the accused man's aunt was also involved in the crime. The duo threatened her with dire consequences if the incident was shared with anyone." The family alleges that police failed to act swiftly in the days leading up to her death. SP Siddhant Jain confirmed that two men and a woman were under arrest. DNA samples from the suspects are being matched with samples from the deceased to identify the primary perpetrator. "We have started an investigation into the case and we will arrest others, if their involvement is found. The accused were booked under Pocso Act and rape charges," Jain said.

Protecting premium video content has become one of the most pressing challenges for businesses, educators, and creators. While content streaming has empowered educators and entertainers to reach audiences globally, it has also made them vulnerable to piracy, a billion-dollar problem impacting industries from film to online education… VdoCipher, an Indian secure video hosting and streaming company with global customers, has taken the fight to the frontlines.

Combining behavioral video streaming analytics with authentication data, this hacker identification tool is helping companies safeguard their premium video content from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. The Problem That Most Don't Want to Talk About From Telegram-based piracy rings to students unknowingly sharing login credentials, video piracy is no longer limited to underground torrent sites. It's fast, decentralized, and thanks to forums and anonymous channels, shockingly accessible. For content creators and educators, piracy goes beyond a simple financial issue. 'When teachers avoid putting their best content online because they fear piracy, it's the students who ultimately lose out,' says Siddhant Jain, CEO of VdoCipher. 'Good content should not be held back due to fear of theft.' Even the most robust encryption solutions, such as Google Widevine DRM, are not foolproof, and have faced frequent vulnerabilities in the past 3 years. This is where the next layer of protection comes into play: intelligent tracking and enforcement.

‘Virtually no inquiry has been made': Delhi court summons Fatehabad SP over report in trademark infringement case
A Delhi court on Monday issued summons to Fatehabad Superintendent of Police (SP) Siddhant Jain over a report he filed concerning the alleged physical intimidation and harassment of a lawyer in a trademark infringement case. 'A perusal of the report filed by SP, Fatehabad reveals that it is an outcome of the total non-application of mind, abdication of his power and in total disregard to the directions passed by this court; as it is clearly evident that virtually no inquiry has been made by him,' Vinod Yadav, District Judge (Commercial Court), North-West, Rohini Courts, said on Monday. The court also issued a show-cause notice to the station house officer (SHO) of Jakhal police station, Police Sub-Inspector Kuldeep Singh, seeking to know why a criminal contempt reference should not be made against him for wilfully letting court orders be disobeyed. The issue concerns a trademark suit filed this year by Delhi-based Shiv Trading Co against Shiv Tobacco in Fatehabad, Haryana. District judge Yadav granted an interim injunction on May 2 and appointed a local commissioner (LC) to visit Shiv Tobacco's site in Fatehabad. The LC, Ayush Rathor, made the site visit on May 10. Later, he filed a complaint at Jakhal police station, alleging that while he had managed to seize goods related to the case, the defendants had knowingly obstructed him by inviting media persons, getting into a physical tussle with the plaintiff's team, intentionally locking the gates of the premises, blocking the exits later, and having the wife of the defendant abuse him and threaten to file a false case against him. 'Several other women (relatives/neighbours) at the behest of defendant, physically intervened – one of them grabbed my arm forcefully, shouted abuses, and threatened false criminal complaints if any goods were seized. These actions were clearly premeditated to create fear, obstruct justice, and prevent the lawful seizure of infringing goods,' Rathor said in his police complaint. On May 13, the court called for a report from the SP. On Monday, the court expressed its dissatisfaction with the report, noting that Rathor's statement had not been noted. The court also pointed out that the report did not mention who had called the media and the women at the site. The court issued a show-cause notice and summons to be served through the Haryana director general of police. The matter is listed next on May 31, and both the SP and SHO have been directed to remain present in court.
