Scamwatch Netflix phishing scam
  • Scamwatch, ACCC, used Twitter to alert the Australian Netflix users to stay watchful of a new phishing scam coming their way.
  • Email saying “update your payment details” or “update your billing information” is a scam.
  • Netflix will never ask users to enter their personal information in a text or email.

The latest phishing scam is targeting Netflix customers through emails asking to update their payment details. Users must stay alert and do not click on any such link as it could lead to their financial information getting stolen.

Scamwatch, a cybercrime tracker operated by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), used Twitter to warn  Netflix users of this latest phishing scam.
