Phishing alert: Hackers prey on Netflix users to steal credit card details

Thanks to the Covid-19 outbreak, all socialising spaces such as theme parks, theaters, and multiplexes are closed to curb the spread of the infections. With no option to go out of the house, people have switched to Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, SonyLiv and other Over-The-Top (OTT) services to get distracted from the depressing news on the global pandemic and also get their mind relaxed after a hectic online working schedule.

Apparently, this has attracted hackers to prey on naive users to steal financial details through multimedia streaming apps.

The cyber security team of Armorblox has uncovered a clandestine operation of a group of bad actors phishing on Netflix subscribers and siphon off their money.
