Do you use Netflix? If so, you could be targeted by a new phishing scam that is trying to grab your credit card information.
If you click on the link in the email, you would be taken to a fake but a real looking web page that would ask you to log in. That would then send you to another fake page that would ask you to fill in the personal information such as names, birth dates, billing addresses, Social Security numbers and payment card information.
According to a Monday blog post by FireEye, the campaign used AES encryption to encode and obfuscate content presented on the client's side to avoid detection. “By obfuscating the web page, attackers try to deceive text-based classifiers and prevent them from inspecting web page content,” the blog post explains.
Certain companies like Google or PhishTank would not display the phishing pages.
