Xbox 360 users are reporting widespread access to free movies through a loophole in the console's Internet Explorer browser. This exploit allows users to stream copyrighted content without payment, raising immediate concerns about copyright infringement and security vulnerabilities.

Specific Websites Involved

Legal and Security Risks

Furthermore, accessing unknown websites through the Internet Explorer browser poses security risks. These sites could potentially contain malware or other malicious software that could compromise the console or the user's network. Always use a firewall.
