Netflix users beware - This is not something that is happening to others. I, had also received this hoax email (a few days back)


According to security firm Mailguard, if recipients click the link in the email, they are directed to a fake Netflix page asking them to login and provide their personal information, including credit card details.


Mailguard offers these tips to help users detect the real source and purpose of an email:


  • Always hover your mouse over links within emails and check the domain they're pointing to. If they look suspicious or unfamiliar don't open them
  • Cybersecurity threats take many different forms from simple spyware downloads to sophisticated ransomware attacks. Your business can be exposed to a wide variety of different vectors: through peripherals; USB devices; networks; attachments; etc. Security best practice recommends a layered defence strategy to protect users against web threats and malware
  • 9 out of 10 cyber-attacks are delivered via email, so it's essential to have the best email filtering in place to protect your systems
  • Keep up to date on the latest scams.
