Netflix lets\u00a0multiple\u00a0people use an account at the same time, and this feature is great when it allows you to mooch off a friend\u2019s account without inconveniencing them.<\/p>\n

But one\u00a0problem with this policy is that it has inadvertently created a black market for \u201caccess\u201d to stolen Netflix accounts.<\/p>\n

A recent report by McAfee Labs<\/a> revealed you can buy access to Netflix accounts in \u201cDark Web\u201d marketplaces, which can only be accessed using a special internet browser called TOR that hides your IP address.<\/p>\n

Hackers in these marketplaces are selling lifetime access<\/a> to Netflix accounts for as little as $0.50.\u00a0While some of these accounts are likely ones purchased with stolen credit card information, others used hacked login information, Raj Samani, the CTO of Intel Security, told Tech Insider.<\/a><\/p>\n

And sometimes hackers don’t even sell the stolen accounts, but rather, just dump the login credentials\u00a0on the internet for people to use.<\/p>\n

Motherboard writer Rachel Pick came face-to-face with this phenomenon<\/a>recently when she noticed weird movies and TV shows showing up in her \u201cRecently Watched\u201d section on Netflix. At first, she says she thought it was just a glitch in Netflix, but after reading about the black market for stolen Netflix accounts, she decided to check if hers had been hacked.<\/p>\n

The tool she used was haveibeenpwned.com<\/a>, which gives you a rough idea of whether your personal information has been leaked onto the internet. Pick found that her family\u2019s login info had appeared on Pastebin, a site for dumping plaintext files, in a document with the title \u201cBunchaNetflixAccounts.\u201d The information from 2,400 other users had also been compromised.<\/p>\n

While haveibeenpwned.com<\/a>\u00a0worked for Pick, it\u2019s not always effective for finding out if you’ve been hacked, especially if your login is being sold on the “Dark Web.”<\/p>\n

Luckily there’s an easy measure you can take if you think there might even be the possibility you’ve been hacked. Netflix has a feature that allows you to force all users who are logged into your account to log out. This means everyone with the username and passwords saved gets temporarily booted. Once you’ve done that, just change your password to keep them out permanently. This also works if you get too many “friends of friends” clogging up your account.<\/p>\n

Here is how you do it.<\/p>\n

Go to the account page and\u00a0select “Sign out of all devices.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"signTech Insider<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You then will be prompted to confirm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"signTech Insider<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After that,\u00a0all that’s left is changing your password so they can’t log back in (bear in mind the signing out can take up to eight hours to take effect).<\/strong><\/p>\n
