Netflix account on the black market at $ 0.25 each: eye to fraud

The computer security company Symantec is warning users about fraudulent downloads masked by the promise of getting Netflix cheap. The fraud is based on a phishing campaign aimed at stealing true credentials with which you have access to the online video-streaming service.

With Netflix, which is spreading like wildfire around the world and is available in 190 different nations fraud-related services are increasing in parallel in frequency. The campaign is targeting users of the various regions: in Brazil, for example, users can install masked malicious files from the service installation packages.

Example email scam


These are located within seemingly reputable websites that actually offer the Netflix subscription at an extremely affordable price. Users are attracted within these sites through banner ads (probably from non-conventional circuits), but the client pretended they propose to download contains a trojan that attempts to steal banking data stored on the target machine.

Another possibility of fraud resulting from the traditional and well-established phishing emails that lead users to a fake page Access to Netflix. If an experienced user can easily recognize the fraud and possibly report it, the less savvy may naively hand over your credentials for access to the service and also those of your bank account under specific request.

The credentials of the stolen Netflix accounts are then sold on the black market even at $ 0.25 for orders of a minimum of four accounts. But we must respect the clauses: the buyer for example may not change your user name or other credentials, as it could arouse suspicion, and the company could take action on the matter of investigating accounts and blocking those deemed fraudulent.

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
