Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, this call mimicking tech support can lure you into sharing sensitive info or downloading malware. The claim of a compromised computer from 'Microsoft' screams classic tech scam tactics, especially timed suspiciously after your hack—scammers often monitor or guess such events to strike. Hang up immediately on unsolicited tech alerts; never grant remote access. Verify issues directly via official channels, like Microsoft's site. Enable two-factor authentication and run antivirus scans to bolster defenses. Report to authorities like the FTC to help curb these predators—staying vigilant keeps your data fortress intact.
