AVOID THE MICROSOFT PHONE AND WEB SCAM

thumbnail

You don’t need to call any number you receive in an unsolicited phone call or message in your Web browser claiming to be from a tech support company like Microsoft. These messages are often phishing scams, in which the attacker attempts to trick you into giving them access to your computer or personal information.

Microsoft and other legitimate tech support companies will not initiate a call or message out of the blue to alert you of a hack. Suppose you are concerned about the security of your computer. It is best to directly contact the company through its official website or support channels to verify the message’s authenticity.

Suppose you have already given control of your computer or provided sensitive information to someone claiming to be from tech support. In that case, securing your data and protecting yourself from potential identity theft or fraud is essential.  CJ Network Systems will help with the following: 

  1. Security Awareness Training: Educating employees on recognizing and avoiding phishing scams and other types of cyberattacks.
