I went through their "help" section and all it says is to use the "sign out of all devices" then change the password again.

 
Not really looking for advice, but wanted to rant about something on the computer.

Someone keeps hacking Mrs Dex's Netflix account. Dude is ballsy enough to create his own "profile". Mrs Dex deleted it the first time, then he recreated the profile with the name "thanks for the delete". We changed email address & password, let's see if he comes back...

All to save $7 a month? Get a job you hack.


How many times has he done it? That's pretty crazy.
We noticed the 3rd account a couple of weeks ago and thought it was something mini-dex had done on his Xbox. When we asked him about it he had no idea, so we deleted it. A couple days later the account was re-created.

Netflix doesn't require a log-in if you're on our wi-fi, but we know all of our neighbors already have netflix. We're thinking someone hacked the account. The other possibility is that the new renters a few houses down are doing it through the wifi although our signal isn't really strong enough to extend beyond the property lines...


Unless they set up a wireless bridge to get to your signal? Maybe turn off wifi for a day or two and see if the ghost account comes back? Man, that's annoying, what an a$$hole. Here's their CS number: 866-579-7172. I would call them and see if they can do anything for you.

 
I'd guess they are getting through the Netflix side and not your Wi-Fi? you could turn the Wi-Fi off during the day and see if it happens while your router is off?

 
I honestly think it's through my son's Xbox. I can almost guarantee I don't have it setup correctly, and mini-dex will "friend" anyone he plays against in his handful of online games. And we all know everyone we meet online are fine, upstanding citizens.

 
So Fox, any word as to when the new Android o/s will be released? Code name Lemon Meringue Pie
Nothing that I've come across yet.

F*CK, he created another new profile.
I doubt it's your Wi-Fi network that's being exploited. Hopefully you're not using WEP type security and instead are using WPA-2 (TKIP & AES encryption methods). I'd also be willing to bet it has to do with the XBox network. Lots of exploits out there for that platform. Too bad Netflix doesn't yet employ 2-factor authentication. What a PITA though. I wonder if Netflix's customer support is capable enough to get you the IP address of the user that created the bogus profile. With the IP address, this troll will have much more to worry about than trying to save $7/mo. :Chris:

 
That edge looks like it will take butt-dialing to a whole new level.

That being said, I'm almost eligible for an upgrade again, and can't f'ing wait to dump this damned iphone 4.

 
I have a 4s, and am up for a new phone soon as well. I'm looking at the HTC One (M8).

 
So I just saw the new Galaxy Note Edge. Damn thing looks awesome. Heard anything about it Fox?

Does look pretty slick with the curved edges. Haven't had time to research the specs on it though.

LOL...<smh>

The M8 is a pretty awesome phone. The screen resolution is pretty spectacular, among other things.

Hey, I didn't choose it. It was either an iphone 4, or another Blackberry. That doesn't even count as making a decision.
