Over the past few months, The Daily Californian’s website has been bombarded with phishing articles redirecting to scam movie sites. Articles are often tagged under the “Film & Television” category, with titles such as “Watch ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Free online streaming.” 

Our website team is currently working on a solution to this issue and prevent further intrusions. However, because our site is a news organization, these results occasionally take the form of stories on our page and appear on Google results pages. Please avoid clicking on these links for your safety. Our team plans to roll out and announce a solution by early August.

Thank you,

The Daily Cal
