Woman Says She Logged Into Her Streaming Account — Then Saw Profiles She Didn’t Recognize Watching at the Same Time
A woman on Reddit said she first noticed something was off when she tried to watch a show and got an error saying too many people were already streaming. She lived alone and wasn’t sharing the account with anyone, so it didn’t make sense.
According to her post, she logged into the account settings to see what was going on. That’s when she saw it—multiple profiles she didn’t create.
At first, she thought maybe she had accidentally set them up or forgotten about them. But the names didn’t match anything she would have chosen, and there were far more profiles than she would ever use.
Then she checked the viewing history.
That’s when things got strange.
There were shows and movies she had never watched, all with timestamps that didn’t line up with her schedule. Some of them were playing at the exact same time she had tried to log in earlier.
She said that’s when it clicked.
Someone else was using her account.
At first, she assumed maybe a friend or family member had gotten the password somehow. But she said she hadn’t shared it with anyone recently, and no one close to her admitted to using it.
Then she looked deeper.
According to her post, the login history showed activity from locations she didn’t recognize. Different cities, different devices—none of them hers.
That’s when it stopped feeling like a simple mix-up.
She immediately changed her password.
After doing that, she said she logged everyone out of all devices and removed the unknown profiles. For a moment, everything looked normal again.
But then it happened again.
New profiles appeared.
More activity showed up that wasn’t hers.
That’s when she realized the problem wasn’t just the password.
According to her post, she checked the account email settings and found something she hadn’t noticed before—another email had been added as a recovery or secondary contact.
She said she didn’t recognize it.
That meant someone had access beyond just logging in—they had made changes to the account itself.
After that, she contacted customer support and went through the process of securing everything properly. It took multiple steps to fully remove the other access and lock the account down.
By the end of her post, she said the part that stuck with her wasn’t just seeing unknown profiles—it was how persistent it was. Even after changing the password, the access kept coming back until she found the deeper issue. What started as a simple error message turned into realizing someone else had worked their way into her account and stayed there longer than she ever realized.
