Hey everyone, i'm in need of some help here.
2 days ago some "Microsoft Technicians" called my mom and sadly she fell for it while using the computer from her store. It's a small business, she works there with my father, but there's a lot of information along with some programs they use to keep their finances in order in this computer that they need.
According to her, they asked her to open Team Viewer and it seems they were chatting for like 2 hours, so guess they had enough time to do whatever the fuck they wanted. She ended up opening her bank account after they closed the Team Viewer connection because they told her to do a certain payment for their services, but no harm was done, since at this point she started realizing that it was probably a scam. When my mom first called me i told them to shutdown any internet connection and to immediately turn the computer off. Any ideas on how they should proceed now? Any way to recover the computer and its Data?
Let me know if you need any other information.
