Expert Opinion

Imagine getting a robo‑call at 5 a.m. claiming your Microsoft computer is compromised. The message will urge you to call back immediately, promise a fix, and threaten data loss if you don’t comply. Do not return the call, and never share personal or financial details. Use your phone’s call blocking feature or a third‑party app to silence the number, then report it to the FTC and your carrier. Verify any security alerts directly through official Microsoft channels—log in via a known website or app, not through a phone prompt. Stay skeptical of urgent threats, and educate household members about these tactics to reduce future exposure.
