Late last year I realized, rather belatedly, that I was paying for 2 additional Netflix streaming subscriptions and one DVD plan besides the one I was using. A quick check of my PayPal showed that I was paying for the same stuff THREE TIMES and DVD's to boot. They'd hacked my email, entered my Netflix account and went on their merry way. I eventually got most of the funds back and took Netflix off my PayPal. I signed into Disney+ last night and found everything was in Spanish. A quick check showed that Disney and Hulu were in the same state as Netflix was. I don't know if they're hacking PayPal, my email, Roku or all three.
I added a VPN on my email after the first problem, I'm not sure how they got at me again! I've had to cancel all my streaming services that are paid via PayPal and will have to revert to using credit Cards. What a pain!
I'm only writing this to warn folks. If you've streaming service of any kind and you don't visit it regularly do so now. Check whatever method you're using to pay for these services and make sure you're not providing free content to whole neighborhoods around the world.
