Remote-access scams claiming your device is infected.
Tech Support Scams: Countering Remote-Access Fraud
The Threat Landscape Tech support scams typically involve a remote-access component, where fraudsters claim a victim’s device is infected with malware. Once granted access, they navigate to banking portals or cryptocurrency wallets to conduct unauthorized transactions. These scams are invasive and rely on creating a sense of immediate technical crisis.
