Netflix joins the list of companies who are proactively searching for leaked credentials online.

Sophos Explains:

Netflix is telling some password-reusing customers to reset those well-trodden logins after it spotted some of them in a batch of purloined credentials.

The news was first reported by AdWeek, where writer Steve Safran said on Friday that he’d received this email:

As part of our regular security monitoring, we discovered that credentials that match your Netflix email address and password were included in a release of email addresses and passwords from a breach at another company.
