Scam Alert: Fake Netflix Emails Aim to Steal Your Credit Card Details

Netflix users are being warned about a new scam that tries to steal their credit card details. Hackers are sending fake text messages saying that the user hasn’t paid for their Netflix subscription and that their account will be shut down soon.

These messages look like they’re from Netflix and include a link that leads to a fake website that looks like the real Netflix site. The fake site asks for the person’s credit card number and login details. Once the hackers get this information, they can sell it online.

Experts say this scam is becoming very common. One reason it’s spreading is that Netflix does not use extra security, like two-factor authentication. This makes it easier for hackers to steal people’s information. The scam has affected people in 23 countries, including the United States.

Netflix has said that they will never ask for personal information through text messages or emails. They also say that they will never ask for payments through a third-party website. If you ever get a suspicious text or email, don’t click on any links. If you have clicked on one of these links, Netflix suggests changing your password to something strong and different from the one you used before.

Cybersecurity experts advise users to avoid clicking on any links that seem suspicious. They recommend typing the website address directly into the browser to stay safe.

To stay safe, always be careful when getting messages about your account. Don’t trust any unknown links, and make sure to follow steps to protect your personal information.
