Phishing again and again: Fraudsters like to use the identities of well-known companies – such as Netflix.

The Lower Saxony State Criminal Police Office warns of phishing emails in the name of Netflix:

Warning
Phishing emails circulating in the name of Netflix

Attention Netflix users! There are currently an increasing number of phishing emails claiming that the Netflix account will expire in 48 hours. For this reason, it is imperative to carry out an examination of the information in order to solve the problem.

The senders want to get access to the users' access and credit card data.

The scam is clever: the link in the email to verify the account does not lead to the popular video film platform, but to a phishing website. After a security query, the next step is to ask for user data.

Customers should then provide their payment information, name and address. This approach is intended to steal the user's access data.
Currently, the subject of the phishing emails is “Your account is blocked” or “Your Netflix membership is about to be canceled!”

What does the phishing email look like? And what can you do if you fall for the scam?
