Will the internet become less safe to use?

IPTV has the same risks as any other IP-based service, so IPTV does not necessarily make the internet less safe to use. Security plays a big role in the development of IPTV, and there are various countermeasures against the two biggest threats: content theft and account hacking. Such countermeasures include digital watermarking technology, IP/customer name verification/encryption, source traceability, and verification of subscribers’ devices.
