Netflix phishing scam emails continue to target users' personal data

Emails pretending to be from the streaming video service are still finding their way into victims' inboxes

You may want to think twice before you trust an email that appears to be from Netflix. Another phishing scam is targeting users of the video streaming service, directing them to fake landing pages that ask for personal data. FireEye warned Netflix users of the fraud earlier this year, and the Los Gatos, California-based company reminded subscribers that it would never request billing or payment information over email. Still, a number of customers are falling for the campaign, handing over their credit card information, email addresses and passwords with the click of a button. How can unsuspecting victims protect themselves? Education is key. "Filters and blacklisting technologies have been less than effective in stopping such threats, so user awareness is critical in avoiding system and network compromise," cybersecurity expert Kenneth Holley told us Wednesday. Holley is a 24-year veteran of the online security industry and co-founder of Shield Logic, a Washington, D.C.-based firm that provides protection for federal, state and local US governments. A close look at the fraudulent Netflix email identifies a number of red flags: - The Netflix logo isn't identical to their actual logo - The email's grammar is slightly incorrect - Hovering over the email's link reveals that it does not lead to netflix.com "As always, if you suspect an email to be a phishing attempt, do not click on any link, instead, open a web browser and visit the site in question directly," Holley advised. Phishing emails can be reported to the FBI here.
