"Explosion in cybercrime targeting Netflix users since COVID-19
pandemic
-- Social phishing schemes and fraudulent websites set up to trick viewers
-- 639 new website domain names including the word "Netflix" registered in 2020
15 April 2020: BrandShield, a leading provider of cyber
solutions, warns that cybercriminals are increasingly targeting
customers of streaming sites.
With COVID-19 forcing millions of people to turn to the screens
for entertainment, cybercriminals are capitalising, targeting
viewers of streaming sites such as Netflix and Amazon Prime.
These schemes include the use of social phishing and fraudulent
websites set up to steal money from Netflix users who believe they
are buying a subscription from Netflix directly. Criminals are also
trying to steal Netflix user details to compromise accounts.
BrandShield's online threat hunting system has detected:
-- 639 new domain names registered with the exact word "Netflix"
in them since the beginning of 2020.
-- Out of 639, 236 domains were registered in March only.
-- In addition, 41 percent of the new websites created in 2020
have a mail server indicating that phishing emails may also be
being sent.
Many examples of fake Netflix sites show that criminals are
looking to steal money from viewers hoping to access Netflix films
and TV shows. For instance, fake websites such as
www.netflixvietnam.com and http://netflixcoro.com.ve/ are posing as
the Netflix pages for particular countries asking for viewers
payment details.
Yoav Keren, CEO, BrandShield said: " As the world goes into
lockdown, cybercriminals are capitalising on people spending more
and more time online. Consumers of streaming websites are
increasingly at risk of successful phishing attacks. We have seen
an explosion in domain names featuring "Netflix" as criminals are
looking to catch consumers out and extract financial or personal
records. Governments must do more to educate the public about the
risks they face, and how they can protect themselves.
"BrandShield protects some of the biggest corporations in the
world and we takedown thousands of threats across websites and
social media every month. We are getting companies approaching us
all the time asking for our help. This problem is only going to get
bigger as people spend more time transacting and interacting
online".
