    Seriously. Why would i care if someone logs into most of them. What are they going to do watch a movie on my Netflix account, play my kids roblox games, or change my crew on my Rockstar account? It's unnecessary bs.

    Any account that does payment (like your netflix one), will be used to test out stolen credit cards. This will in turn flag your account for fraud. You might not want that. Unless you do, I don't know

    What? Like they'd try and use a stolen credit card to pay for my service?

    They won’t be paying, just tokenizing the cards to see if the data is good.

    Sounds like it wouldn't be a problem at all, for me, and really a problem for the police or netflix or the credit card company.

    It will be a problem for you when the police decide it's a civil issue (which they most likely will). Whether the credit card company will help you with this really depends on their policies, and I'm not sure what Netflix is supposed to do about it.

    The bigger issue is gaining account details and personal info for identity theft.

    Which also doesn't matter anymore because companies sell our data all the time or just give it away through their own data insecurities. Or yanno, white pages. com and similar exists and its pretty easy to find anything about anyone anytime.
