In the war of piracy there is no single scenario, but in general pirates need their services to remain visible at all times while they themselves remain invisible.

The challenge for MPA/ACE researchers is almost exactly the opposite. Find a chink in the armor, gather information, and then exploit every resource possible to remove the anonymity of the agents who profit from the IPTV.

For this reason, the MPA wants to add two more people to its Global Content Protection team to help obtain evidence that exposes these pirates on the Internet.

A very complex job to end pirated applications

Any specific intelligence collected can also be used more broadly, requiring the candidate to elaborate”forensically sound and actionable investigative reporting“, they explain in the job offer.
