I'm standing in the break room chatting with some co-workers over lunch. My phone rings with an unknown 800 # so I step out to take the call. </div>
<div><br></div><div>When I answer the phone I am greeted by "Steve from Computer Technical Systems" in a very thick accent. He is informing me he is calling because he sees many red alarms going off on their monitoring and he thinks my computer is being hacked. I ask him to repeat himself and he does. "Steve hold on a sec, I need to get a pen" I say as I put the phone on mute and walk back into the break room. Quickly hushing the co-workers I put the phone speaker and unmute.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Me: Ok, Steve so I can make sure I have this right, can you repeat what you said?</div><div>Steve: Yes, I'm from Computer Technical Services and your computer is alarming telling us you are being hacked.</div>
<div>* My co-workers have a blank stare</div><div>Me: Is this my home computer or work computer?</div><div>Steve: Your Windows OS computer</div><div>Me: OK, what can I do?</div><div>Steve: Ok, Can you see the back of your computer? Look for a light next to a cable going into the back of the computer. Do you see one flashing?</div>
<div>Me ( Still in the break room ) : Yeah I see it, what's it mean?</div><div>Steve: Yeah, if it's flashing, that means they are trying to break into your computer</div><div>Me: Oh crap. What do I need to do?</div>
<div>* Co-workers are snickering</div><div>Steve: Ok, I can walk you through how to lock them out and protect your stuff.</div><div>Me: Alright, lets do it</div><div>Steve: On your keyboard, do you see the key with C T R and L on it? Press that and the key with the 4 little squares that look like the Windows Logo.</div>
<div>Me: OK, got those 2, now what?</div><div>Steve: Press "R"</div><div>Me: OK, did it.. I don't see anything</div><div>Steve: Are you sure you're pushing the right ones?</div><div>Me: Yup, the CTRL, Windows and R keys. Nothing happens. Hey, does this work in Linux?</div>
<div>Steve: You're running windows?</div><div>Me: Yes, of course</div><div>Steve: <Click></div><div>Room of Co-workers start laughing</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div><br></div>
