Phone Scam Alert!

Here's another scam for you to mention to all your non-technical or non-suspicious friends and family. One of our employees had a phone call to his home. The caller said, "I see you are having computer problems..." and offered to help fix them. Of course, the fix ends up with your computer being compromised and the hacker having access to your machine for whatever purposes they desire. Depending on the scam, this could mean access to your banking or other private information. In this case, our employee didn't fall for it, but a friend's grandmother did and was, in fact, hacked.

Be careful out there! Stay alert and be suspicious of anyone who makes an unsolicited call or sends you an unsolicited email message. Don't click on links you don't know and don't open attachments you aren't expecting.
