Tech Support Scams Protection

Securing Your Organization with Confidence

Tech support scams are a growing cybersecurity threat targeting businesses and individuals alike. Scammers impersonate legitimate technology support services to gain access to systems, steal sensitive information, or install malicious software. At Managed Technology, we provide comprehensive protection against tech support scams, ensuring your organization stays secure and your team remains vigilant.

What Are Tech Support Scams?

Tech support scams involve cybercriminals posing as representatives from reputable technology companies. Their goal is to trick users into granting remote access to their systems, providing sensitive information, or paying for fake services.

Common Tactics Used in Tech Support Scams:

• Pop-Up Warnings: Fake error messages or virus alerts urging users to call a support number
• Unsolicited Calls: Cold calls claiming to be from tech companies warning of system problems
• Phishing Emails: Emails disguised as official communications with links to fraudulent support websites
• Remote Access Requests: Scammers requesting remote access under the guise of fixing technical issues

The Risks of Tech Support Scams

Falling victim to a tech support scam can have serious consequences for your business, including:

• Data Theft: Scammers may steal sensitive business or client information
• Malware Installation: Granting access can lead to the installation of ransomware, spyware, or other malicious software
• Financial Loss: Scammers often request payments for fake support services or unauthorized purchases
• Reputational Damage: Breaches caused by scams can erode trust with clients and stakeholders
