Netflix is at the center of an extremely important warning from all over the world, and this is because some former subscribers, as well as other people who do not have an account on the platform, could fall into the net of hackers. More precisely, there is a scam circulating on the internet according to which Netflix would offer free subscriptions during the Coronavirus pandemic, a website imitating the one of the platform being made to deceive people that this is 100% real.
Netflix has a cloned website, the scam being propagated via WhatsApp, account sharing being one of the requests made by the hackers to "activate the free subscription", offered "specially" because of the Coronavirus. Those who receive a message like the one below are prompted to visit the website you see below, the domain itself has nothing to do with Netflix, just like the website, but it is cloned to look a lot like the real one of the platform.
Netflix: Serious WARNING to People Worldwide
Netflix has confirmed that that website is 100% fake, but the people who get there don't know that, and hope to get a free subscription to use in their everyday life. It all starts with a series of stupid questions that have nothing to do with anything, and at the end people are asked to send the scam to 10 other WhatsApp friends to be able to activate the "free subscription" to Netflix, but of course this doesn't work. it happens in reality.
Netflix doesn't really have a way to block these practices because it doesn't have control over the internet, so people are the ones who have to protect themselves in situations like this. We notice that WhatsApp is the favorite platform for propagating fake messages for those who want to take advantage of people who want free Netflix subscriptions, and of course to steal their data, and these phishing attacks are not new, nor will they disappear soon.
Netflix warned the world not to believe in this kind of nonsense, I told you the same thing, so now it remains for everyone to look very carefully at what they receive via email, or WhatsApp, from strangers.
