Security experts warn of a campaign to steal credentials from the streaming platform


    Hundreds of Netflix users have received an email in recent days with the subject Notice-Document followed by a series of numbers. An email that impersonates the North American company and that it is a phishing campaign, according to Panda Security.

This attack aims to steal the passwords of the users of the streaming platform. They ask users to verify their access data to the company through a link and then validate the payment information.

    Once the false email link is clicked, the user is redirected to a fictional Netflix page, which requires the introduction of the platform's email and password, according to Panda Security's experts.

The technical director of PandaLabs, Luis Corrons, has warned that the "real risk" is that the attackers resell the stolen accounts "on the black market" and use them to carry out attacks "on a larger scale", since most of users reuses their passwords, so it would be possible to reach 'email' accounts, social networks or even banking.

The email alerts its clients that if they do not complete the supposed validation process of their accounts, the subscription to Netflix will be suspended. Panda recalled that with these types of phrases, cybercriminals seek that victims "react quickly, without reflecting."

Panda Security reminds you to be suspicious of those emails that link to unofficial websites and that, if the communications are addressed to Spanish users, they are not in the user's native language.

Artificial intelligence is able to pre-empt medical diagnoses The Alphabet project can predict when a patient will get worse Alphabet, the parent company of Google, and the US Department of Veterans work hand-in-hand to take the technology to the patients' rooms to monitor and monitor possible changes in the health status of the elderly. However, this union is not about electronic devices to monitor the heartbeat or to control blood pressure or tension, but both companies work on the deployment of DeepMind, the artificial intelligence of Alphabet. According to several medical studies, one out of ten deaths in hospitals occurs after obviating any change in the patient's health status. The Alphabet project and the US administration will analyze patterns of 700,000 anonymous medical records to see if Artificial Intelligence from DeepMind can identify which patients will get worse during admission to the hospital and find out their future doctor DeepMind and its engineers say that ...

The technology that will allow to save the Tables of Daimiel A project by WWF and Coca-Cola creates tools for saving millions of liters of water per year    Las Tablas de Daimiel is a wetland that spans more than 3,000 hectares of La Mancha. They once occupied ten times more territory, but the overexploitation of the water that nourishes this treasure of biodiversity has left them at a minimum. Cereal crops such as corn and barley, melons, eggplant orchards, onions and garlic and, of course, the vineyard of La Mancha still competes for water from the aquifer 23, a key part of the hydrological system of the Upper Basin of the Guadiana River and essential contribution for the Las Tablas wetland.     To reverse this situation, WWF and Coca-Cola launched the Mission Impossible project, which since 2012 seeks to return this immense bag of water of more than 5,500 square kilometers to a healthy state. Since then, the participating farms have saved around 2,500...
