I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder... Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

My Boomer dad got taken in by one of these scams. They didn't manage to do much damage, thankfully.

Yea l knew someone that gave remote access out to one of these scams. Couldn't be sure they didn't leave a reverse shell so we just formated the drive and reinstalled windblows.

I once looked in Event Viewer and was gobsmacked by the number of wiruses and hackers in my compyooder.

Microsoft are NEVER, repeat NEVER, going to call you about your computer.

The problem appears to be connected to your bank account and can only be fixed if you buy some apple gift cards...
