I have the feeling that Netflix was hacked at me is that possible? Please only reasonable answers even if the time is already so

First explain how you come to this suspicion? Are there films in your list that you have never seen before?

ha

Yes, that was the case and some of the films that I saw, for example, I was in season 1 and suddenly I was already told that season 3, episode 16, and I was not there yet and today it was so that I can no longer enter my account maybe this is a netflix error?

Ja

I guess so. For me 2 devices from a foreign city are listed under connected devices.

Oha blatant

Just change the password first

ho

Sure, your Netflix account can be hacked just like the whole service itself!

Since you are concerned with your account, we leave their servers out. A "hacker" could have obtained your access data in the following ways:

Infecting your computer with malware can steal saved passwords or read your keystrokes
If you outsmart yourself with phishing / social engineering, you reveal your password yourself
Theoretically, it would be possible to try out various passwords with Bruteforce and guess a less secure password, but that should prevent Netflix from waiting after a few failed attempts. In theory, someone could have found a way to get around this.
A forum or portal you were logged on to was hacked, thereby exposing your email and password. Then it is usually tried whether these access data also fit PayPal, eBay, Amazon, Netflix, etc.
etc.

So you should change your password first and always use a unique password for important services (PayPal, eBay, Amazon, etc.). For everything unimportant like small forums, etc. You rarely use the same password.

You should also check your PC.

I don't have a pc, I watch xbox one x

ho

That doesn't change much… The XBOX can also be infected with malware just like a tablet, a cell phone, etc.

Okay blatant but there's no antivirus program
