I really don't know. The only thing I know is that my email account connected to my Netflix was not compromised. There was a big list (1000+ accounts) that was for sale - I have this list in my possession and have passed it on to Netflix. Waiting for them to notify customers but yet to receive an email (notified Netflix 5 hours ago).

I wonder if my account is in that list. I got my account taken over by a hacker close to a year ago. I had to call and get it reset. The only way I knew for sure it was hacked was because the devices they listed contained 1 that I did not own.

I have been a 'victim' a few times ever since the LinkedIn and Adobe brecaches awhile ago. It even happened as early as 2 weeks back. It's becuause I'm a fool and use the same password multiple times. Now, I don't going forward.

Email me - sam.granger@gmail.com and I will check for you.
Might be a better idea suggesting users search for their email address, rather than contacting you personally.. I'm able to find the site with yours..

Netflix may be contacting the local police and letting them know about you, this list of information stolen from their systems that you sent them, and how you told them it was for sale. You may hear from the police before you hear from Netflix.
Netflix sent me an email after reading this thread. I've been 100% transparent to them and have done nothing illegal.
That's good. Congratulations.
Wait, did you buy the list?
No, I didn't buy it.
