The protracted crisis caused by the coronavirus epidemic is being used by cybercriminals who cunningly want to obtain our sensitive data.
Crafted posts appear on social networking sites that try to mislead you. According to the information, Netflix is to offer free passes to people quarantined due to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus epidemic. In addition, text messages with similar content are sent.
Clicking on the link opens a website where the victim is asked to update their billing information. Apparently, this is a necessary step to get free access to the entire Netflix library . Of course, the goal is actually quite different – cybercriminals want to extract sensitive data. There is no question of any free Netflix .
The attack is aimed mainly at US residents, but it is possible that it will be extended to other regions over time. Yes, it can eventually find its way to Poland and possibly in a more extensive form.
Netflix has already referred to the matter
A spokesman for the company, in a response to Business Insider, clearly indicated that there is currently no promotion that provides free access to Netflix . Still, if we want to watch our favorite series and movies, we have to pay a monthly subscription.
There may be more similar actions soon. So be careful with information about free access to Netflix , Spotify and other services. If we have any doubts, it is worth looking for confirmation from trusted sources – e.g. the official website of a given company or technology websites.
