The latest policy changes adopted by Netflix have opened the door for cybercriminals to take advantage of them to try to deceive users. On this occasion, the potential victim receives an SMS (full of spelling mistakes) indicating that payments are missing, accompanied by a link.
In that link, a login panel appears in which the username and password are requested to “update the information”. Like this, by entering the data, the criminal takes control of our login information.
This is a new case of “smishing”, the phishing variant in which SMS messages are used to spread fraudulent links. Al final, the goal remains to extract personal information and/or money.
As always, we recommend, nunca hay que presionar sobre este tipo de enlaces y desconfiar de cualquier mensaje que requiera acceder a una página web para realizar gestiones o solucionar algún tipo de problema
