20.01.2022 What’s happened? Scammers purporting to be from Australian Cyber Security Centre are calling Australians and attempting to trick them into installing malicious software on personal devices. The Australian Cyber Security Centre warns some Australians are receiving phone calls from scammers purporting to be ACSC employees and claiming the receiving person’s computer has been compromised.... These malicious callers are known as ‘remote access scammers’ and they request individuals to download ‘TeamViewer’ or ‘AnyDesk’ onto their device to help resolve the malware issue. The scammer then attempts to persuade recipients to take actions, such as enter a URL into a browser and access online banking service, which then compromises their computer to reveal banking information, enabling them access to transfer funds. Some recipients of these calls have reported to ACSC that the scammers may have spoofed legitimate caller ID numbers, to make their unsolicited calls appear more authentic. How do I stay safe? If you've received one of these calls but have not engaged with the scammer, you can report it to Scamwatch at: https://bddy.me/38CERqD. If the cybercriminal has accessed your device via Team Viewer, Zoho Assist or AnyDesk, you should report it to ReportCyber and immediately notify your bank. Your financial institution may be able to put a temporary freeze on your financial accounts. To prevent further compromise, you should also change passwords on all your important online accounts including banking, email and social media, and turn on two-factor authentication for extra security.
