Caller: TELSTRA SCAM This is a scam call pretending to be from TELSTRA.
She told me about how if I've shared my wifi password, I've allowed people to access my personal data. She wanted me to either download and app or visit a link so she could show me 'in front of my eyes' what these security flaws are and she will fix them. When i asked how many people she's already scammed, she muttered something in a non-english language, called me a 'f*cking idiot' and hung up.
These scams work by getting people to provide IP addresses and / or login credentials, then they hack your device and demand money in order to restore access. Alternatively they will install tracking data to log your keystrokes and record your login data for online banking etc.
Share this with your friends and family to ensure that this number is never answered, or you hang up immediately. Never confirm your details if a company calls you, especially if you are not a customer of theirs.
