How was someone able to hack into my Netflix account even though my computer has a password on it? A computer password protects your device, not online accounts. Hackers often access Netflix using leaked or reused passwords from other breaches. Once they obtain credentials, they can log in without accessing your computer.

Can scammers send emails without hacking into them? Yes. Scammers can send emails without hacking into your account by spoofing your address or using publicly available information. Email spoofing allows them to make a message appear as though it came from you, even though they never accessed your inbox. This technique is widely used in phishing, fraud, and impersonation scams. Your account is only compromised if someone gains access to your password or login session. If you notice unusual activity, password resets, or messages you didn’t send appearing in your Sent folder, that may indicate a real breach. Otherwise, receiving a spoofed email alone does not mean your email has been hacked.
