BELGIUM: Please be aware of the Rogue BFBS TV Player App

Be aware: rogue BFBS TV Player App

BFBS have become aware of a fake, (rogue) copy of their TV Player app on the Amazon app store. This is the app that users download to access BFBS tv services via the internet.

The app 'look' has been cloned to appear like the legitimate app, with a copied logo and information describing the app, which includes being available to armed forces personnel.

Users can distinguish between the rogue app and the genuine app as, when searching for the BFBS app on the Amazon app store, the legitimate app is the first returned. On the genuine app, the develop is listed as ‘BFBS.’ On the rogue app, the developer is listed as ‘parifo5508@wivstore.com.’ The rogue app release date shows as November 2025 and on some screens and is distinguishable by white 'pillar box' bands left and right of the BFBS logo.

What to do if you have been caught out:
Personnel who believe they may have entered service details or MODNET user name and email addresses into the rogue app should change their passwords immediately and report the incident via a Security Incident Report Form

Further information on securing personal devices can be found on the National Cyber Security Centre site (www).
