How to identify if a Netflix account is hacked?
Netflix has a way of hacked accounts and after that selling them for a smaller price. That was the case in our situation.
What to look for at first?
If you’re thinking that maybe somebody is using your beloved account, the one that you have used for some years now, the one that is having all of your movies and series history there and it is even reflecting your personality at this time, do not panic yet. The first thing to check is the watching history, for example, if you see that some shows are now appearing “watched” even if you, or the people who you are sharing the account with, didn’t see them. Also, look for the names on the “Who’s watching?” page to be how you set them (ask the other people on the account if they changed them).
What to do next?
Some people use VPNs to watch shows that are not available in their region. If you still have the password, e-mail, or login information for your account, it does not mean that you are the only one who is enjoying your account. You should check your account information on the “Account” page and see if anything looks out of the ordinary. However, keep in mind that some of the people you are sharing your profile with may be using a VPN to watch shows that are not available in your region. ..
Your account it’s hacked, how can you fix it?
If you are the only one on the account, then you can sign out by going to Account→Settings→Sign Out for all devices. If you are not the only one on the account, then you will need to follow these steps: a. First, make sure that you are not signed in to any other devices or accounts using your username and password. b. Next, go to your device and sign out by pressing the Sign Out button on the top right corner of your screen. c. Finally, go to Account→Settings→Sign Out for all devices and press Sign In to finish signing out all devices and accounts. ..
If you have not changed your password since last logging in, now is a good time to do so. Go to Account→Change password (browser version) or Account→ Settings→ Change password for Android devices.
After changing your password, be sure to inform all of your “account-sharing” people and let them know the new password. ..
If you don’t have two-factor authentication enabled on your account, you should activate it to protect yourself from unauthorized access.

How can hackers get into a Netflix account?
There are a lot of ways for a hacker to get into your Netflix account, but the most common is by impersonating a company. They will send you an email in which they are asking for some important account data and they will find a motive for making that request.
Another way to protect yourself from malware is by receiving infected e-mails or being aware of suspicious ads. If you see something that looks like it might be malware, you can click it to remove it from your computer.
