A massive phishing campaign is underway. Emails with the subject line “Your suspension notification” are making the rounds. The email includes Netflix’s logo as well as mention of  “The Crown” and “House of Cards”  giving it a real sense of legitimacy.  Clicking the link takes you to a fake Netflix page asking for your login and credit card information.  Of course doing so gives your information to the bad guys.

With criminals getting so good at creating fake emails that look like they are legitimate, how do you know if it is a scam or if you really do have a problem with your account? Quite honestly, you don’t. That is why it is best to ignore the email entirely and go to their website directly using either a bookmark or Google search.  From their webpage, you will be able to access your account information and safely update it if it is required.
