网络骗子打电话给IT专家：惨遭戏弄 - 电信诈骗,电话诈骗 - IT资讯
现如今，网络骗子可谓无孔不入，让人防不胜防。可是有两个网络骗子的“运气”却不怎么好，因为他们居然把诈骗电话打到了英国顶尖的网络安全专家那里。据英国《每日邮报》1月18日报道，IT专家马特?霍兰(Matt Horan)在接到诈骗电话后假装自己是个电脑新手，与骗子周旋了35分钟。最后骗子意识到自己被戏弄，破口大骂后挂了电话。
霍兰让同事帮忙记录下了他与骗子的对话。他假装自己是个电脑小白，告诉骗子自己没有网络连接，只能看到屏幕上有一张恐龙的图像。接着，打电话来的女人就把电话转交给自己的男主管，主管意识到自己被捉弄，骂了句脏话后就挂了电话。这两个骗子应是在一家亚洲呼叫中心工作，这些呼叫中心每年要对数百万英国人进行骚扰。而这样的欺诈手段可以帮助骗子骗钱并大量获取受害者的个人信息。霍兰发布了这个视频，希望人们可以在未来避免落入这样的诈骗陷阱。
霍兰的公司协助英国政府通信总部(GCHQ)的网络安全工作。他说，企业网络安全最薄弱的一环就是员工，他们不做坏事，但是会轻易落入骗子的陷阱。
和钓鱼软件一样，这样的电话诈骗也会造成巨大的损失。来电者会自称他(她)来自像微软公司或其它类似的企业，然后告诉接电话的人他们的电脑出现了问题。接着又指示他们查看电脑的“系统日志和事件日志”，告诉他们这就是恶意攻击的证据。之后，骗子就会登陆远程控制软件，远程访问和控制目标电脑。这样一来，他们就拥有了这台电脑里所有的信息，可以窥探邮件、偷密码、加密储存数据等，基本上可以对受害者的电脑为所欲为。
霍兰说：“很明显，这样的诈骗会给企业造成重大损失并导致数据丢失、资金失窃、情报丢失，使企业脸面尽失。所以，我们对企业员工进行培训，让他们了解网络知识，一旦接到这样的诈骗电话就立即挂断，有任何疑问可以联系公司的IT部门。微软这样的公司不会打类似于我刚刚接到的电话，但是他们听起来还挺像那么一回事的。通常骗子会两两合作，这样来电的人就可以把电话转交给另一位“高级主管”，增强可信度。因此如果接到这样的电话，务必要小心谨慎。”
