IT company warns Netflix users of phishing scam

The estimated 175,000 users of Netflix in Ireland are being warned about the threat of a major phishing scam which has been identified by IT security company Smarttech.ie.

An email appears in the email of the Netflix account holder telling the person to click on a link and update their credit card details or else their Netflix account will be cancelled.

The hyperlink in the email brings them to a dummy page, where they are told to enter their financial details.
