Hackers want your Netflix Password…..

and are using a variety to tricks to get it.

According to THIS ARTICLE from eSecurityplanet.com there is a rising wave of online scams trying to get your Netflix password using a variety of techniques, including

  • Phishing – where you receive legit-looking emails with text that tries to manipulate you into panic-clicking a link.
  • Smishing – where you receive TEXTS trying to get you to click on a scammer link.
  • ….and even a combination of Phishing emails, smishing texts, AND some AI-generated phone calls – all trying to get your to panic-click and cough up your Netflix account information.

The article continues:

To avoid falling victim to Netflix scams, cybersecurity experts recommend the following steps:

  • Do not click on links in emails or texts claiming to be from Netflix. Instead, visit Netflix.com directly.
  • Be wary of messages creating urgency, such as threats of account suspension.
  • Verify sender details before responding to any Netflix-related email or text.
  • Use a strong, unique password for your Netflix account.
  • Report suspicious messages to Netflix immediately.

If you suspect you’ve already clicked a scam link, change your Netflix password immediately and check your payment details for unauthorized charges. If necessary, contact your bank and report the scam.

Loading PDFs from Schoology to Notability

​Anytime one browser has trouble with downloads or just acts flaky when getting a file from Schoology to Notability on your iPad, here are some things to do:

1) Quit out of all your running apps except the one you need. Too many students have 25 or 30 apps running in the background, which can make things difficult.

2) Quit out of ALL running apps and THEN restart the device. [aka the “iPad Reboot Dance”The “iPad Reboot Dance”]

3) Use a different web browser. You have Safari, Chrome, Notability, AND Edge on your iPad.

Quite often one web browser will work where another one has flaked out. If you’d like to know why, bone up on Nuclear Physics, then come ask.

Once downloaded, the file probably can be found in the FILES app – click on the “recents” category and you should see it.

Click-and-hold to see what options you have [including renaming the file].

In Notability, click and hold the +NEW button. You should see an option to import a file from the Files app. Select that option, and you should be presented with a list of files you can import into Notability.
