True phone conversation at about 17.30 today (24/8/13)... "This is Jason from Microsoft technical department. I am calling you to inform you that your internet connection will be cancelled as from tonite .. " In case it's not obvious, this was probably a fishing attack.
If you had said "OMG really? Oh no!" he would have move to phase two: convincing you to install a remote viewing server on your Windows box, so he can turn it into a zombie or pull your bank details or whatever. Yes, I actually have a video screen capture of an actual attack session which I recorded a while back in a XP Virtualbox snapshot VM made specially for the purpose.!! Its about 1/2 hr long, through a lot of it nothing happens while "Jason" goes on and on about how my PC is infected and I am doomed etc. Pity it has no audio. When I have time I will edit and make it viewable in say 5-10 mins, with comments or voice over.
BTW for those who were at the July Beginners, when I talked about that and there rest.... the website they lead you to, and which I was talking about is "dial4tech.us" - I believe there is also a dial4tech.uk? Interestingly it also shows a Sydney or NSW phone number as Australian contact!! Cheers Daniel
