We have been advised that there is a phone call scam that could lead to malware & financial loss.  The scenario involves an actor, claiming to work for a well-known software, technology or research company, cold calls victims in an attempt to convince them that their computer is at risk of an attack or infected with viruses, and that only they can resolve the problem.  Those who comply are very likely to have their computers compromised and may also experience financial loss.

As always, do not provide any confidential information to anyone contacting you via email or over the phone.  If you receive such a call, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 740.587.6395.
