I received an email notification that my membership was upgraded to the premium membership and it was being accessed in Israel and the UK. Apparently this is some fallout from the linkedin breach. Luckily I was able to change my password and reset my plan before they changed everything. I hate fricking hackers. Merry friggin Christmas

Lesson learned - change any password that you may be using that is consistent with your LinkedIn password

The fact you started this thread makes me wonder if they had some sort of security breach that didn't get publicized.

Mine got hacked and they changed the language to Spanish.

I called Netflix and they changed my account back to pre hack.

I think I still have the same password so whoever it was hasnt tried again.

Mine was actually hacked a few weeks ago. Didn’t think anything of it. They reactivated my account after I deactivated it.

They got me a year or so ago. I changed my password for Netflix, Spotify, and similar services to a unique one for each.

I used a familiar password that I could remember but added “Netflix” or the like to each password to make it unique.
