Many streaming companies are actively cutting down on the sharing of logins and passwords as some customers try to avoid paying for their services.

Companies such as Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ have placed a cap on the number of devices a paying customer can be logged in to along with monitoring how many different IP Addresses that are accessing individual accounts.

While the sharing of streaming passwords is considered acceptable among family members, there are some dangers to sharing these login credentials beyond your inner circle of people.

Many of these accounts have people's credit card and bank information stored, opening the door for scammers to steal information.  New Jersey was recently revealed to be the top ten Most scammed online in the United States.
