What to Do When Your Hulu or Netflix Account Gets Hacked

An ages-old disposable Hulu account I hadn’t used since college days got compromised in January 2020. Hulu’s recommendation was to call the 877 number to attempt an account recovery, “if you did not make this change” A “forgot password?” link was not an option because the email address had been changed to the attacker's. Hulu also offers a ‘forgot your email’ feature too but with a caveat: it requires your Hulu billing information. If the account is exceptionally old, was using a PayPal billing agreement, or is a “cancelled” account.
