Worrying alert issued to all UK homes with a printer and ignoring it will be costly

^{Published on 2024-12-10 02:42:27 - Daily Express}

The next part of the attack attempts to lure the printer owner into calling a fake support hotline. It's here where things get nasty with the crooks then asking for permission to take over the person's PC in a bid to fix things.

The article from Express.co.uk discusses a warning issued by the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) regarding a scam involving fake printer support. Scammers are exploiting printer users by sending out fake error messages that prompt users to call a support number. Upon calling, victims are tricked into paying for unnecessary services or granting remote access to their computers, which can lead to further exploitation such as identity theft or financial fraud. The NCSC advises that genuine printer manufacturers do not send unsolicited error messages or request payment over the phone. They recommend ignoring such messages, not calling the provided numbers, and ensuring that printer software and firmware are up to date to prevent such scams.
