My PC is hacked (lemmy.world)

I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder... Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

It's always an excuse that criminals make - that they don't have any other options for employment. It's a shitty excuse when 95% of the country is employed and don't scam people. It's easy money for them, nothing more.

To be fair, India has about a 10% unemployment rate as of 2023.

Those people chose to not scam people I assume, otherwise they would count in the employed (by scammers)
