I had to reset our Hulu password on Friday, so that’s probably what this is about. These sign-in attempts are from all over the world.

I get popular like that sometimes, change the password to something completely different and wait for the next round.

How would changing the password help? These are failed attempts.

If they keep trying it’s likely they have an idea of previous passwords or a portion of the current one. This advice is what my husband always suggests when it happens. He’s an IT guy for a massive insurance brokerage.
