How to Sign Into a Different Netflix Account
A JILTED mum hacked into the Netflix account of her ex-husband's new girlfriend and changed the profiles to ''Desperate home wrecker' and 'The Skank'' in an online revenge campaign.
Sharen Pound, 33, used a family xBox account to log onto the streaming service used by Adele McGillivray to ''embarrass and humiliate'' her in front of her lover, a court heard.

The mum-of-four also used the web to order unwanted services for or Miss McGillivray, who received calls about a nose job from a private cosmetic surgery hospital and installing a stairlift at her property.
She was later charged with computer hacking.
In a statement, Miss McGillivray, from Buxton. Derbyshire was said to be ''distressed and annoyed'' by the cyber attacks and said: ''These calls have caused me considerable amounts of concern.
''I thought my bank details were visible on my Netflix account and I was concerned the defendant could have accessed them.
'DISTRESSED'
''It made me suspicious that it was Sharen due to the names that the profiles were changed to."
She added: "I just want this to stop and for her to leave me alone. I feel she is just jealous of my relationship. I feel I was targeted because of this.''
Stockport Magistrates Court heard the feud erupted in April after Pound, of Chapel en le Frith, broke up with her unnamed partner and he began dating Miss McGillivray.
Prosecutor Peter Conroy said: "The defendant and the victim's partner were in a relationship.
"That relationship ended one year before this offence.
"The victim was later contacted to to be told the defendant had admitted changing all of the Netflix profiles which had been set up by her partner.
'HOME WRECKER'
"The profiles were changed to 'Desperate home wrecker' and 'The skank'.
"It seems the defendant was able to access the Netflix account through an Xbox account which was already signed in and she changed the usernames of the profiles.
"Later that night, the complainant received several phone calls and text messages from various companies from internet enquiries.
"These enquiries related to nose jobs from a private hospital in Manchester and enquiry about installing a stairlift at the property."

Pound admitted harassment. A charge against her of securing unauthorised access to computer programme under Computer Misuse Act 1990 was dropped.
Defending, Anthony Derbyshire said: "She is remorseful and now wants to move forward. In essence, there was a family games console and when Netflix turned on it has a list of users.
"All she did was enter different names on two of the users on screen. She cannot see any of the account details.
''She accepts she was completely wrong in doing this. This was very short lived and it was as some time ago.
Pound was banned from contacting Miss McGillivray under 12-month restraining order.
She was also fined £80 and ordered to pay £119 in costs and surcharges.
