The Breakdown of a Fake Antivirus Scammer #vmvwiki

Run through of what 'Microsoft' scammers claiming you have malware actually do to your computer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb69H7l0vJA  

What are the chances of a fake antivirus (AV) scammer calling a security vendor? Probably slim, until  one such scammer calls Noah Magram, principal software engineer with Sourcefire. After talking to a series of agents for 30 minutes, Noah fires up a virtual machine. The video starts when the scammers get access to his "computer."

The cryptography expert Bruce Schneier, who has been writing about computer security for more than fifteen years, is not given to panic or hyperbole. So when he writes, of the “catastrophic bug” known as Heartbleed, “On the scale of 1 to 10, this is an 11,” it’s safe to conclude that the Internet has a serious problem. The bug, which was announced on Tuesday—complete with an explanatory Web site and a bleeding-heart logo—is a vulnerability in a widely used piece of encryption software called OpenSSL.
