Netflix is the largest video streaming platform on demand, with over 200 million subscribers worldwide, many of them also in Romania, but unfortunately for everyone comes an extremely serious alert. More precisely, a new phishing campaign is currently underway all over the world, and Netflix subscribers are being targeted in order to steal their card details and, implicitly, the money they have in their own bank accounts.
Netflix is at the center of this alert in Romania because it comes from the authorities, they publish for all subscribers from all over the country the information below which shows us an email received by Romanians. In the email below, which is meant to appear to come directly from Netflix, people are told that their payment information is incorrect and that they must update it to avoid having their subscription suspended and therefore access to content restricted .
Netflix: ALERT Issued to Millions of Romanians from All over the Country
Netflix sends emails like this if there are problems with the payment data, but unfortunately the users are the ones who have to make the difference between a real one and a fake one. The problem is that people often cannot distinguish between an email from Netflix and another from a hacker, even though some email platforms display alerts telling people that the message they received is not from an entity affiliated with the company whose identity it presents.
Netflix knows very well that attacks of this kind are ongoing, but unfortunately it can do absolutely nothing to prevent their existence or spread, and this is because they come from various corners of the world. Those at Netflix have tried to carry out various campaigns to help their customers become aware of the danger that exists due to this type of attacks, but unfortunately not everyone understands the seriousness of the situation.
Netflix has no way to help customers who are affected by problems of this kind, so every time you have to try to protect yourself against what is happening.
