Although this may not work if you have deleted the history. First, you must log in and go to the ‘Account’ section, then you must go to ‘View activity’ and click on ‘Recent device transmission activity’.
In this tab, it will be possible to see the places from where the account has been accessed. Having this information it will be possible to know with certainty if it has been hacked or not.

On certain occasions, and it is the most common, email and other access data to a Netflix account are hacked and completely changed. In circumstances like these, it is very regrettable to say that the user has been ‘excluded’ or blocked from the account. In cases like these, it will be a bit more difficult to proceed.

According to the testimonies of the people who have suffered this evil, it is better to give the account lost; in the best of cases, this will be closed completely, although you can also do it yourself.
However, these problems will be totally in the hands of the customer service team assigned to the case, so it will only be left to wait patiently for everything to go well.
Why won’t Netflix let me change my email?
