Summary
Over the past week, Finnish organisations and individuals have been targeted by a large number of calls from scammers claiming to represent Microsoft technical support. The callers claim to have detected an information security problem on the victim's computer, which they then ask the victim to open. The calls appear to come from a Finnish number, with the scammers speaking either English or Finnish. These calls are scams, and there is reason to believe that they are being made from spoofed phone numbers.
