could this be accurate?
i know my dc give the password out but i dont believe any of her friends went to outer hebrides, or poland?

Mine was used in Israel once apparently. Strange isn't it.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 29/05/2022 19:24

so it might not be actually accurate?

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 29/05/2022 19:26

Are DC giving the password out to 'friends' online? Or DCs friends are?

MrsLargeEmbodied · 29/05/2022 19:26

Where are you checking it?

interested to know

noblegiraffe · 29/05/2022 19:28

One of her friends is using a VPN.

EachandEveryone · 29/05/2022 19:31

How do you check?

TakeYourFinalPosition · 29/05/2022 19:34

Yep, VPN.

BraveryBot9to5 · 29/05/2022 19:34

is it one of your kids? my son was watching something on netflix america the other day and that makes reciprocal vpn users be able to 'show' as having used your location. Not 100% sure but .......... ask your kids if they're using a vpn or whatever it's called.

When my student DD logs in on a device at her university halls it shows her as being in all sorts of places up to couple of hundred miles away🤷🏼‍♀️

jessycake · 29/05/2022 19:54

Change your password and don't give it to your kids , my son gave to to a young relative because they were bored at our house and it was watched in several locations including in pakistan . They admitted giving it out to one or two people .

Eightiesfan · 29/05/2022 19:55

My DS gave out the password to his friends during a sleepover. It was then passed on to all and sundry. Just log out of all connected devices and change the password.

IcedOatLatte · 29/05/2022 19:59

Do you pay for the maximum number of user? If there are really so many people using it don't you ever get a message that too many are watching?

Musingsofthemind · 29/05/2022 20:02

Didn't they say they were going to charge people who were sharing passwords? Or did they renege that?

Luredbyapomegranate · 29/05/2022 20:11

You need to report and change your password. You have been hacked. Happens quite a lot.

Stillfunny · 29/05/2022 20:34

I was hacked and watched my Netflix account on the TV being used in Cairo , Jericho , Egypt , Rio de Janiero , all scrolling through rapidly pn my screen. Change your password quickly.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 29/05/2022 21:07

I DO PAY for the maximum yes, as i have 3 dc and a friend so that equals 5

i may have been hacked, password changed.
i will keep an eye

You need to select log out of all devices when you reset the password or they all stay logged on and the problem remains

MrsLargeEmbodied · 29/05/2022 21:28

oh yes, since i found out about the various logins i have been signing out of all devices
but i went Mean today!
