Cybercriminals take advantage of Netflix's global expansion

Cybercriminals take advantage of Netflix's global expansion according to Symantec

New Symantec research released overnight tracks how cyber criminals have piggy backed on Netflix’s global expansion to steal users’ credentials in order to provide the streaming service at black market prices.

Symantec has observed two different attack methods:
• The first is a malware campaign aimed at stealing bank information from the affected computer where the malicious files are downloaded by users who were tricked by fake ads or offers of free or cheaper Netflix access.
• The second attempts to steal Netflix login credentials through phishing campaigns that redirect users to a fake Netflix website and tricks them into providing their login credentials, personal information, and payment cards details.
