Tech Support Scams: Hello, you have a problem with your computer!

from My Precious Data · host G DATA CyberDefense

"Hello, I’m calling you because we got a notification that your computer has several problems!"  Dit is vaak de eerste zin bij Tech Support Scams oftewel helpdeskfraude. Cybercriminelen doen zich in dit geval voor als een helpdesk. Slachtoffers krijgen bijvoorbeeld te horen dat hun computer geïnfecteerd is met malware en dat reparaties noodzakelijk zijn. Om het ‘probleem’ te verhelpen moet een programma gedownload worden waarmee de cybercriminelen de computer op afstand tijdelijk kunnen overnemen. Gedupeerden moeten na afloop geld betalen voor de zogenaamde werkzaamheden terwijl er niets is gebeurd. Bovendien lopen ze het risico dat er malware op de PC wordt geïnstalleerd om toegang te krijgen tot gegevens. In deze aflevering legt security evangelist Eddy Willems uit wat helpdeskfraude is en wat je er tegen kunt doen. Daarnaast demonstreert hij hoe oplichters te werk gaan aan de hand van een opgenomen telefoongesprek met een échte cybercrimineel.

Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
