It’s understandable that Microsoft is sensitive about the expanding and highly adaptive trade in tech support scams, since users of its services remain a primary target for this type of scam. That said, users of other platforms are far more likely to be targeted nowadays than they were a few years ago.
There have been other changes in the support scam threatscape, too. As I’ve pointed out here and elsewhere many times, the tech support scam focus has shifted somewhat from cold calling to pop-ups and SEO-exploiting ads picked up by major search engines, so that the victim gets to call the scammer instead of vice versa.
Tech support scams go with a Bing
