Scammers Accidentally Ring Cybercrime Police
A Bad Case of Wrong Number A tech-support scammer making random phone calls in the hope of finding a victim to dupe accidentally rang the cybercrime squad of an Australian police force. Officers at the Financial and Cybercrime Investigation Branch (FCIB) used the opportunity—and a secure sand-boxed computer—to discover the mechanics behind the attack. “No one is safe from receiving scam robo-calls, not even the police,” the FCIB said.
