In other cases, hackers may change your login email and password to restrict you from accessing the account entirely.

Netflix may alert you that it has noticed suspicious activity on your account – and if you don’t recognise the address or country code, you should take action immediately. If you haven’t received an email but want peace of mind, you can also have a stalk on your Netflix account viewing history.
