This morning as if i didn't have enough on my plate I received a call direct to my virgin media landline. I don't know how these people got my number since i've only given it to a select few.
A lady attempted to install remote software giving me verbal instructions. I played along (for a while) A link she gave me to type in web browser address bar resulted in a file : support.Client.jnlp being downloaded to my desktop . A .jnlp is a Java file used for Networks
She then asked me to run it and could I see a .exe file being downloaded . It seems the hack is aimed at Window users. I've reported the issue to the technical team at virgin media UK. The guy seemed to already know somehow hackers got access to phone numbers.
I've deleted every and run chkrootkit - nothing now scanning clamav
They phoned from 01415392052
Be warned !
