Netflix: Trying to search for free web series could be risky

NEW DELHI : Those who searched for Netflix series ‘Delhi Crime or the movie ‘Mardaani 2 that is available on Amazon Prime Video in an attempt to watch those free online were at the greatest hacking risk, a new report revealed on Tuesday.

As subscription-based models and content behind paywalls continue to trend, users who do not want to pay for premium content continue to search for free content online, exposing themselves to a host of vulnerabilities.

According to cyber security firm McAfee’s new research on “top 10 web risk list” for both TV series and movies, ‘Delhi Crime’ and ‘Mardaani 2’ took the top place in their respective categories as identified by McAfee’s Web Advisor platform.
