Users of the famous Mickey video platform currently receive an email indicating that their subscription has expired. This is a phishing attempt intended to recover their bank details
Are you subscribed to Disney ++? Watch your mailbox carefully if you don’t want to be a victim of a scam. Indeed, users of the video streaming video platform in large ears currently receive emails saying that their subscription has expired and that they must again enter their payment information in order to avoid any interruption, as reported Numerama. Worse still, if no action is carried out within three days of the notification, their account “will be terminated automatically”. Rest assured, it is only a scam, of which Netflix is often also a victim!
Disney+ scam: a fraudulent email and a clone site
The crooks who practice phishing are making more and more efforts to imitate official messages by taking up the visual codes of brands and by limiting French mistakes. Thus, we find in the email one of the logos of the company, the graphic charter of the platform, and a total absence of spelling mistakes. Obviously, the message is alarmist and invites you to click urgently on a link to regularize the situation.
The subscribers who fall into the panel and click on the false link are then found on a copy of the Disney+site, where they are encouraged to connect and provide their bank details in order to trigger a payment. By the way, the crooks collect Disney+ valid access codes which they can then resell on the internet.
If you have ever been the victim or target of a message of this kind, remember to delete the message. If you have clicked on the link or transmitted certain personal information, immediately change your password, as well as that of other accounts where you use it – in passing, it is not recommended to use the same for several accounts. And, if you ever went so far as to transmit your banking information, call your bank without further delay in order to take the necessary measures. In any case, transfer the spam signal or Pharos. You can also report these fraudulent messages to the site Internet- Signally.gouv.fr.
