Overview
- The SSC’s Cyber Police issued an alert after detecting mass emails that impersonate Netflix by mimicking its logo, colors and tone to claim a lapsed subscription or payment problem.
- Links in the messages send users to fake sites that request email, password and banking details, which are then used for financial fraud or access to other accounts.
- Authorities advise checking for HTTPS and exact domains, avoiding unknown links, using unique strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, updating devices and apps, and installing reputable antivirus software.
- CDMX Cyber Police representative Roberto Espinoza highlighted tools to verify URL authenticity and recommended using VPNs and security software to assess site risk before entering data.
- Suspicious emails or incidents can be reported at 55 5242 5100 ext. 5086, policia.cibernetica@ssc.cdmx.gob.mx, or via @SSC_CDMX and @UCS_GCDMX, and officials note Netflix does not request personal or banking data by email; no large breach has been reported.
