ALERT: Tech Support Scam Email

Many online service providers like Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and PayPal have adopted a policy to warn users via email when there is a possible security-related event like “unusual sign-in activity”.

Unfortunately, CyberCriminals have copied these emails, and using it as a new attack vector for a tech support scam.

These new “phishing” emails point victims to a 1-800 number where either a scammer picks up, or the victim gets sent to voice mail hell for a while, and their number is queued for a fraudulent follow-up call like the one below.

Here is a real example of such a call:  http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/241394/phone_phish.mp3

If you decide to call any company, go to their website and call the number listed there.  Never use a phone number from any email you may have received.

You can’t stop CyberCriminals from targeting your company or employees.

But you can be prepared for their arrival, and have full shields up.
