Michael Leaked: Jaafar Jackson's Michael is not even a week old, and it has already divided moviegoers across the globe. Just like producer Graham King's last mega musical biopic release, Bohemian Rhapsody, critics have been trashing Michael like it's the worst thing since KRK's Deshdrohi, while MJ fans are rallying behind the movie like they don't (wanna) stop till they get enough. However, at the time of writing, the Jaafar Jackson-starring biopic appears to have fallen victim to piracy, and that too through an IMDb hack. 

How Are Hackers Watching Michael Through IMDb?

As per viral posts on Instagram and X, some users have found a way to stream the entire Michael movie via IMDb, the popular movie database. Apparently, once you visit Michael's IMDb page, head over to the URL, type 'Play' just after 'www.' and before 'imdb', you will be immediately redirected to a movie piracy site called StreamDB (not to be confused with the popular gaming database SteamDB). 

The entire movie is available there, in qualities from 360p to 1080p. 

Why You Should Not Watch Michael On StreamDB

Before everything else, it should be noted that IMDb has nothing to do with this leak. This is nothing but a hack implemented by shady actors to lure unsuspecting users in. 

It should also be noted that the URL of the illegal streaming site is 'streamDB.ru'. 

To those unaware, if you come across a website ending in .ru (Russia’s domain), avoid it like the plague. Official platforms for online services usually operate on trusted domains like .com or .info. Links that mimic their names but use different domains are often red flags. 

These unofficial sites are commonly used for phishing attempts to steal your IP details or to spread malware. If you do watch Michael through StreamDB, chances are you that you're unknowingly inviting trojans or setting up even more serious phishing attacks.

ABP Live heavily condones all forms of piracy, and strongly urges viewers to watch cinemas or other works of art only via official channels, such as the theatre or OTT platforms (upon digital release). Any form of piracy severely undermines the commercial potential of any piece of cinema, undermining the hard work put in by the cast and crew.
