The ingenious hack of a woman for stealing her ex-boyfriend’s Netflix account for two months has everybody impressed including the streaming giant. While it is common for people to share accounts, this woman kept on using a Netflix account by simply naming her profile as ‘settings’. The hack was uncovered after the boy's brother, who goes by username @yellowgengar2, later took to Twitter to share a screenshot of Netflix landing page.
'I am not mad at her'
In his tweet, the user revealed that his brother’s ex had renamed her credentials as ‘setting”, therefore, creating an illusion. He then went on say that he wasn’t mad at her but disappointed in himself for believing that an account named 'settings' would legitimately be Netflix's settings. He also shared a screenshot of the Netflix landing page which showed an account named 'setting' sitting right next to an account named 'Norman'.
The woman‘s genius hack has left people amused. Since being shared, the post has taken the internet by storm racking up over 281k likes and 62.26k retweets. Meanwhile, the official account of Netflix also weighed in on the discussion and wrote, "Respect".
This comes as the makers of hit German sci-fi thriller series Dark have now released the official date of its upcoming season. A tweet which was recently shared by Netflix reveals that Dark Season 3 will premiere on the streaming platform on June 27, 2020. Netflix also disclosed how the makers of this German television series seemingly revealed the release date of the show in season 2 itself.
