iBOMMA One Website Creates Fresh Trouble After Operator’s Arrest
The recent arrest of iBOMMA operator Ravi initially brought some relief to filmmakers and cybercrime authorities battling widespread online piracy. However, that sense of victory was short-lived. In a shocking development, a new website called “iBOMMA One” has surfaced, reviving concerns and proving that the piracy network is far more complex than previously believed. Although the original iBOMMA website was shut down following Ravi’s arrest, this newly emerged platform is cleverly misleading users by using the same trusted brand identity.
When movie lovers visit the new website, they see posters and banners of the latest releases, creating an illusion of authenticity. But once they click to watch a film, they are redirected to another major piracy platform, MovieRulz. This manipulation clearly indicates that unknown operators are exploiting the popularity of iBOMMA to divert traffic and profit illegally. Early police investigations have revealed alarming details suggesting that iBOMMA functioned as a vast ecosystem, not a single site, with nearly 65 mirror sites connected and ready to activate even if the main domain is blocked.
Despite Ravi’s imprisonment, it appears that members of his network continue operations, keeping piracy alive. Industry leaders have emphasized that targeting just one site or one individual is ineffective. They are urging the government to impose permanent bans on larger piracy giants such as MovieRulz, TamilRockers, and TamilOne, arguing that rampant piracy drains massive revenue and causes heavy financial losses to filmmakers.
Cybercrime officials are also cautioning the public about the risks of accessing free pirated movie links, warning that such sites may steal personal data and compromise device security. While Ravi remains in remand and reports suggest a film may be made about his life, his arrest reflects only one small victory. The sudden rise of iBOMMA One proves that the fight against digital piracy is far from over and requires stronger technological and legal action.
