Billie Winner-Davis, Reality Winner's mother, told Business Insider on Tuesday that President Donald Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, is attempting legal representation to aid the former Air Force language analyst contractor and Kingsville native Reality Winner with her case.
Winner pleaded guilty in 2018 to leaking classified National Security Agency information on Russia's alleged efforts to interfere with the 2016 election. She was found guilty of violating the U.S. Espionage Act and sentenced to five years in prison at the Federal Medical Center-Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas.
In 2016 following her separation from six years of active duty, Winner was hired by Pluribus International Corporation under an NSA contract to work out of Fort Gordon, Georgia.
According to ABC News, Winner printed a classified report detailing how Russian hackers allegedly “executed cyber espionage operations” on local election systems and mailed the documents to The Intercept.
She was arrested on June 3, 2017.
Amazing! Thank you. My daughter Reality Leigh Winner is yet another victim of this admin. Doing hard time for bringing the truth to light. #FreeRealityWinnerhttps://t.co/wU0sg3LeRs
Michael Cohen, who pleaded guilty to campaign violations and tax fraud in 2018, began serving his sentence in May 2019 at the federal penitentiary in Otisville, New York.
He has been under house arrest since July over coronavirus concerns.
Military.com stated that Reality’s mother sent a Twitter message that said “Cohen has asked another attorney to look at the case and for opportunities to help.”

LIVE : NETFLIX SECURITY BREACH Is your account at risk ?
The streaming platform’s strong growth has been accompanied by an uptick in hacking and all kinds of scams. In 2019, Netflix came in at #4 on the list of the top brands in phishing attacks.
User accounts on this type of online platform present high value on the net’s hidden black markets, with several hundred thousand accounts available for sale. Hulu, HBO Now, DirectTV, Spotify Premium, Brazzers, Pornhub, CBS, NBC, and of course Netflix, are just a handful of the brands whose pirated accounts sell for between $1.50 and $3.00 apiece on the black market.
3 Ways Cybercriminals Hack into Netflix Accounts
1.Well-executed Phishing Campaigns
Netflix is one of the most spoofed brands in the world for phishing attacks. These fake emails, which spoof a brand and its visual identity, are designed to invite the recipient to take action: to click on a link releasing malware, to pay an invoice online, enter account credentials, or enter bank account information. According to our Phishers’ Favorites Q2 2019 report, Netflix phishing emails are most common on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Not all pages have the same purpose. Some spoof the account creation and payment page, while others spoof the account login page.
2. Telephone Service Provider Accounts
The second most common way to hack Netflix is to create an account through a phone service provider. Few consumers know this, but it is now possible to create an account through your phone service provider. In the “subscription options”, it’s possible to find a “partner,” including third-party on-demand services.
By hacking into such an account, you can subscribe to a third-party account. This scam works because an increase of a few dollars per month often goes unnoticed by a family who has subscribed to telephone and the Internet with the same provider.
That’s why it’s so important to check your statement regularly.
3. Open Accounts in Hotels and Airbnbs
Today, the major video-on-demand services are now integrated natively into connected TV sets. It’s not uncommon to find this type of TV in a hotel or an Airbnb rental. A common mistake is to forget to your disconnect your account before leaving the location. It’s often possible to find forgotten accounts on this type of equipment, which gives the hackers access to the unsuspecting user’s email and phone number.
So before leaving, it’s critical to disconnect your account from the TV set.
Netflix scam directs users to phony site
A new Netflix-themed phishing scam is showing up in the inboxes of users of the streaming service, claiming to be from Netflix Support and falsely informing the targeted victims that there is a problem with their account. The scam tries to alarm users into immediate socially engineered action by telling them that their accounts will be canceled within 24 hours if they don’t update their personal information. A link in the email sends the victim to a functioning CAPTCHA page, which could possibly fool users into thinking the scam in legitimate. After the CAPTCHA page, the victim is taken to a Netflix clone site to input their personal information, including credit card number. Netflix users are advised to be aware.
Armorblox first spotted the phishing attack a few weeks ago when Netflix customers started receiving emails in their inboxes that claimed to be from Netflix Support. The email informed the customers that there was a problem verifying their personal details and that it was resulting in billing issues. They were also told their accounts would be canceled in 24 hours if they didn’t update their personal information to solve the problem.
FALSE - I did not upgrade my plan
“When targets clicked the link, they were led to a fully fledged Netflix lookalike website with a phishing flow that asked them to part with their Netflix login credentials, billing address, and credit card details,” Armorblox co-founder Chetan Anand explained in the blog post. “Once the phishing flow was complete, targets were redirected to the real Netflix home page, none the wiser about being compromised.”
FALSE - I know my information, why would I download it ? This is STUPID - Netflix has no business releasing any information to anyone other than the authorized Email acct it came from ! NO ACCOUNTABILITY
Email phishing attacks are a dime a dozen, but as Armorblox explains, this one was noteworthy because it was able to get through email security controls. The first trick that the hackers used was redirecting users to “a fully functioning CAPTCHA page with subtle Netflix branding” if they clicked the link in the email. This made the entire procedure look more legitimate, and might have been enough to convince some Netflix customers.
I canceled (So I thought) this in July 2020 , but I had to translate a language I've never seen before on any emails, or netflix.com - Somehow I managed to get it back into ENGLISH... I live in the United States, why would you write to me in any other language than English ???? - SO - SO - DUMB !
Furthermore, both the CAPTCHA page and the Netflix clone site were hosted on legitimate domains, one of which belongs to Wyoming Health Fairs and the other of which is hosted on the site of an oil and gas company in Texas. “By hosting phishing pages on legitimate parent domains, attackers are able to evade security controls based on URL/link protection and get past filters that block known bad domains,” Anand says.
Google warns Compromised Password
Whether or not you would have fallen for this scam, it never hurts to know what’s out there. After all, if that email had managed to get through into your inbox, there’s a chance you could have given away your personal information and credit card number. That said, as clever as this attack might have been relative to the spam you ignore every day, detecting it would have been as simple as looking at the address bar in your browser.
What should you do if your account is hacked?
When an account is hacked, you should contact Netflix. If you can still access the account, in Settings, the option “Disconnect all devices” lets you disconnect all devices currently using the account. Then simply change the password. Additionally, you should change your passwords for all other online accounts. Finally, Netflix provides tips for users who receive suspicious emails regarding their service here.
Netflix does not display the users’ full credit card numbers even to the user themselves on the page, thus thwarting any attempt by hackers to hack Netflix accounts to steal credit card details. Also, they only handle credit card details after ‘tokenization’ for added safety.
Tokenization is the process of turning a meaningful piece of data, such as an account number, into a random string of characters called a token that has no meaningful value if breached. Tokens serve as reference to the original data, but cannot be used to guess those values.

Billions of passwords now available on underground forums, say security researchers
Usernames and passwords for everything from network administrator accounts and bank details to streaming services and anti-virus software are up for grabs on the dark web - and many are being distributed for free.
Usernames and passwords for over 15 billion accounts, including network administrator accounts, bank accounts and streaming services are in circulation online, according to security company researchers.
Cyber security researchers at Digital Shadows spent 18 months analyzing how hackers gain access to and use stolen account details and have detailed how account takeover has never been easier or cheaper for cyber criminals.
Many breached accounts are shared multiple times – suggesting that despite being hacked, the user remains unaware of what has happened. But despite that duplication, researchers say there's still over five billion 'unique' accounts up for sale on the cyber-criminal underground, providing buyers access to hacked online services.
The most valuable leaked credentials are those that provide administrator-level access to organisations, with the most valuable being offered for up to $120,000, the company said. The average cost is $3,139, which is still a significant amount, but with the kind of access offered by administrator credentials, cyber criminals could make what they pay for the information back many times over. Even if attackers are paying a six-figure sum for credentials, if they use that access to disrupt an entire network with a ransomware attack and demand millions of dollars in exchange for returning access, the criminals might consider the cost worth it.
For consumer accounts, it's bank login credentials that sell for the highest value, with researchers noting that the average price stands at $70.91. The value for purchasing a bank account comes from the criminal being able to access any funds the victim has saved up – which could be thousands – as well as the ability to apply for credit cards, loans and other financial packages.
Perhaps surprisingly, the second highest costs for hacked accounts are for antivirus programs, which access can be purchased to for an average cost of $21.67 – which is much less than the cost of a legitimate yearly subscription.
"Much like with streaming accounts, it's likely that many buyers are simply of the mindset that they do not wait to pay for a subscription to an antivirus service," Alex Guirakhoo, threat research team lead at Digital Shadows told ZDNet.
Accounts form media-streaming services, VPNs, file-sharing accounts and social media all trade for under $10. In cases like streaming services, the user could potentially provide their account credentials to a friend or family member anyway, so might not even notice their account is being used, let alone compromised.
Researchers warn that the reason that so many account credentials are available online – be they administrator passwords, bank details or a login for Netflix – is because people are using weak passwords that can easily be taken over with brute force cracking tools.
"These attacks are typically automated login attempts that use a predetermined list of access credentials – often, combinations of usernames or email addresses and plaintext passwords – sourced from previous data breaches or leaks," said Guirakhoo.
"Credential stuffing tools are inexpensive to purchase and use, even offering some level of automation to make gaining account access a trivial task," he added.
One way people – and businesses – can make it harder for their online accounts to be taken over is by using a unique password for each service, something which the use of a password manager could help with.
Users should also apply multi-factor authentication for an extra layer of protection, because even if the password is breached, there's an alert that informs you that someone tried to get into your account.
But with over 15 billion accounts already compromised, it's highly possible that yours could be among them. Anyone worried that their account might have been hacked should look to change their password.
"If you suspect your account has been compromised, you should immediately change your passwords – and for any other services where you have used the same password – and check for any fraudulent activity. This is where unique passwords come in handy," said Guirakhoo.
Here are some students that talk about there Netflix experience in the last few days. The DATA is overwhelming ! There was no need to search the DarkWeb, many people will just 'Reset' not realizing the magnitude of this problem.
Was your Password Stolen ? To be used in another Streaming Service ?
Was your Banking Information Stolen ?
Who is responsible for this ? Perhaps we should #CancelNetflix
This is not a reset problem, its a problem of "Public Awareness" and "Litigation"
We found come chatter by some students ...
