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?

You're not hacked. They just want you to think so. They're just phishing. EDIT: lol, my brain was off jeez
