Malware Desginers Set Up Shop, Customer Call Center?!
March 26, 2010Read this story to see the galls some malware designers have.
Apparently, some hackers and other vermin were making so much money–and receiving so many chargebacks on credit card charges–selling fake antivirus that they needed to “control” these charge backs. Otherwise, no banks would do business with them. How’d they go about it?
They set up a call center where the “customers” of fake antivirus would call up, and then these helpful call center employees would show them how to get the fake antivirus to work….usually by turning off the real antivirus software, like McAfee and Norton.
It’s a heck of an eye-opener.
