Insidious Netflix email scam looks like the real deal — here’s what users need to know
Netflix users have been warned to look out for an insidious, AI-powered email scam that looks nearly indistinguishable from the real deal.
This cybernetic Trojan horse, which was making the rounds over the weekend, reportedly includes the subject line “let’s tackle your payment details,” the Mirror reported. It then informs users that they’re account has been locked and that they need to update their payment info to regain access.
“Your account is on hold,” the advisory reads. “Please update your payment details. We’re having some trouble with your current billing information. We’ll try again, but in the meantime you may want to update your payment details.”
Also included is an official-seeming red button that reads “update account now.”
