Since Netflix has already patched this loophole, I think it's safe now to share how crackers used to sell second-hand or even third-hand Netflix accounts at dirt-cheap prices. After diving deep into several Telegram group conversations, I came across a method known as C2P, short for Crack to Private. Here's how it worked: Crackers used certain software (I wonโt name them here for obvious reasons) designed to harvest email-password combinations, mostly using brute force techniques. Once they got access to a bunch of working Netflix accounts, they would begin the C2P processโessentially converting a cracked (stolen) account into a โprivateโ one. Why ๐ค? To make it theirs permanently. Hereโs the trick: Theyโd either create an email ID that looked similar to the original account's email or just skip that step. Then, theyโd contact Netflix support via live chat, claiming that their mobile phone was stolen and theyโd lost access to their email. The support agent would then ask a couple of basic verification questions, which could easily be answered from the accountโs profile section (like billing history, profile names, etc.). Once convinced, the Netflix agent would change the email address on the account as requested. And just like that, the cracker now had lifetime control over the account. Even if the original owner tried to recover it by changing the password, the cracker would still receive the sign-in code on their new email. Game over for the real owner. Fortunately, this method doesnโt work anymoreโNetflix has removed the โChat with Usโ option from their Help section, effectively killing this exploit.
