@FoysalAhmed there is no breach of GDPR from Sky as @Daniel0210 says your Netflix has been hacked and you need to contact Netflix to get this sorted

Typically this happens where either the same email/password combination is in use elsewhere and has been extracted from that (less secure) environment, or someone legitimately knowing the combination has been tricked into signing into a fake Netflix front-end, typically by following a URL in email or text.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreThere is also a darkweb market in valid authentication tokens for netflix, which they seem to be doing nothing about, which seems to allow a "valid" login from any old device on the planet without needing the email address or password Fortunately they can't change the exiating password without re-authenticating but I read that the perps sometimes add a credit card to the account (with no intention of billing it) so they can then validate ownership of their hijacked account with netflix in order to do a password & email change. So always look out for unrecognised cards on the account when this happens.
I haven't seen anything definitive that explains how these get lifted but browser vulnerabilities and cross-site scripting attacks have been suggested.
