since 4 dec 2023 netflix stopped using it on non certified systems /tvs /boxes
only solution is the build in netflix app in smarttv itself or install the "Mobile Version" from a APK on the formuler.
U only get 1080p with that.

it wont login with a Netflix Account, and yes de credentials are working fine in the smarttv itself and on the computer.
So the problem for most people is that we CAN download the Netflix app from the Green Market, we can cancel the update message, but after that Login will not work. (it keeps saying wrong pwd or loginname, but the account is legally working on the smarttv itself with that same credentials.

its probably because Netflix stopped the use of NON official apps on NON certified devices.

its the same on Z11 and Z10 devices. For both there is only one download in the Green Market for Netflix.

It worked before, but not anymore.

On October 21, 2016, three consecutive distributed denial-of-service attacks were launched against the Domain Name System (DNS) provider Dyn. The attack caused major Internet platforms and services to be unavailable to large swathes of users in Europe and North America.[3][4] The groups Anonymous and New World Hackers claimed responsibility for the attack, but scant evidence was provided.[5]

The US Department of Homeland Security started an investigation into the attacks, according to a White House source.[30][31][32] No group of hackers claimed responsibility during or in the immediate aftermath of the attack.[33] Dyn's chief strategist said in an interview that the assaults on the company's servers were very complex and unlike everyday DDoS attacks.[34] Barbara Simons, a member of the advisory board of the United States Election Assistance Commission, said such attacks could affect electronic voting for overseas military or civilians.[34]

Dyn disclosed that, according to business risk intelligence firm FlashPoint and Akamai Technologies, the attack was a botnet coordinated through numerous Internet of Things-enabled (IoT) devices, including cameras, residential gateways, and baby monitors, that had been infected with Mirai malware. The attribution of the attack to the Mirai botnet had been previously reported by BackConnect Inc., another security firm.[35] Dyn stated that they were receiving malicious requests from tens of millions of IP addresses.[6][36] Mirai is designed to brute-force the security on an IoT device, allowing it to be controlled remotely.

Cybersecurity investigator Brian Krebs noted that the source code for Mirai had been released onto the Internet in an open-source manner some weeks prior, which made the investigation of the perpetrator more difficult.[37]

On 13 December 2017, the Justice Department announced that three men (Paras Jha, 21, Josiah White, 20, and Dalton Norman, 21) had entered guilty pleas in cybercrime cases relating to the Mirai and clickfraud botnets.[39]

In correspondence with the website Politico, hacktivist groups SpainSquad, Anonymous, and New World Hackers claimed responsibility for the attack in retaliation against Ecuador's rescinding Internet access to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, at their embassy in London, where he had been granted asylum.[5] This claim has yet to be confirmed.[5] WikiLeaks alluded to the attack on Twitter, tweeting "Mr. Assange is still alive and WikiLeaks is still publishing. We ask supporters to stop taking down the US internet. You proved your point."[40] New World Hackers has claimed responsibility in the past for similar attacks targeting sites like BBC and ESPN.com.[41]

On Friday morning, internet users all over the United States attempted to log in to Twitter and Netflix, only to find that a massive cyberattack rendered them unable to connect to some of the world's most popular websites. Despite fixing the issue, the sites went down again later in the day, victim to another attack. After a third hit, the problem was finally brought under control.

While the identity of the attackers is still unknown, experts have figured out how they attack was carried out. Taking advantage of a botnet of internet-enabled devices, possibly with publicly available source code, hackers were able to clog up traffic to major websites, effectively shutting out human users with an army of automated bots. The scale and success of the attack is causing many companies and organizations to reevaluate their approach to protect websites and consumers from this kind of vulnerability in the future.

The sites that went down, which included CNN and The New York Times, were all customers of Dyn DNS Company, a company that specializes in online infrastructure. One of the company's main functions is to translate human-readable inputs into IP addresses, which can then be used to route online traffic in an efficient manner. But this function was disrupted on Friday when hackers launched a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on DNS servers. As The Christian Science Monitor's Story Hinckley explained:

In order to overload these servers, hackers turned to a malware program known as Mirai. The program takes over network-enabled items such as CCTV cameras, DVRs, and even innocuous household items, networking them together into a botnet to launch a barrage of requests at a target. While computers and phones have more sophisticated security equipment to resist this sort of takeover, many Internet of Things (IoT) devices do not have these protections, and can be easily taken over by hackers.

"IoT security has been horribly flawed ever since it first became a thing, largely because of the pace that new products have to go to market, and the fact that designing security is seen by vendors as 'slowing things down,'" Casey Ellis, CEO of Bugcrowd, a San Francisco-based computer security service, told the Lansing State Journal.

With anything from TVs to refrigerators to toasters being created with the capability to connect to a network, these low-security IP addresses have become a tempting target for cybercriminals. Any device with an internet connection has an IP address that can be used by Mirai.

"It is just a matter of time until attackers find a way to profit from attacking IoT devices," warned a 2015 report from Symantec, a technology company specializing in security. "This may lead to connected toasters that mine cryptocurrencies or smart TVs that are held ransom by malware. Unfortunately, the current state of IoT security does not make it difficult for attackers to compromise these devices once they see the benefit of doing so."

If an attack like this through IoT devices was inevitable, it was made imminent when a hacker known as Anna_Senpai released Mirai's source code to the public earlier this month, according to Fast Company. Anna_Senpai, the likely creator of the program, likely released the code in order to avoid being the only one found with the code if law enforcement comes calling. This is a common tactic for hackers who suspect they might be close to being found out, according to Krebs on Security. In this case, it also makes it difficult to determine whether the Friday attack was orchestrated by the person or persons behind Anna_Senpai, or by others who were able to copy the Mirai source code.

The attack comes amid the President Obama's accusations that Russian hacking has taken place in an attempt to influence the outcome of the upcoming US presidential election. With increasingly sophisticated and consequential cyberattacks on the rise in an online world, commitment to cybersecurity is swiftly moving to the forefront of both federal and private concerns.

"We're proud of the way the Dyn team and the internet community of which we're a part came together to meet yesterday's challenge," reads a Saturday statement from the company on Saturday. "Dyn is collaborating with the law enforcement community, other service providers, and members of the internet community who have helped and offered to help. The number and type of attacks, the duration, the scale, and the complexity of these attacks are all on the rise."

Monitor journalism changes lives because we open that too-small box that most people think they live in. We believe news can and should expand a sense of identity and possibility beyond narrow conventional expectations.

Dyn, a New Hampshire-based company that monitors and routes Internet traffic, was the victim of a massive attack that began at 7:10 a.m. ET Friday morning. The issue kept some users on the East Coast from accessing Twitter, Spotify, Netflix, Amazon, Tumblr, Reddit, PayPal and other sites.

Troubling to security experts was that the attackers relied on Mirai, an easy-to-use program that allows even unskilled hackers to take over online devices and use them to launch DDoS attacks. The software uses malware from phishing emails to first infect a computer or home network, then spreads to everything on it, taking over DVRs, cable set-top boxes, routers and even Internet-connected cameras used by stores and businesses for surveillance.

The source code for Mirai was released on the so-called dark web, sites that operate as a sort of online underground for hackers, at the beginning of the month. The release led some security experts to suggest it would soon be widely used by hackers. That appears to have happened in this case.
