FBI: Cybercrime tore a $3.5b hole in victims’ pockets last year

The FBI’s Internet Crime Report shows that business email comprise is the biggest money-maker for cybercriminals.

The tech-support scammers were allegedly part of a network of crooks in the US and India who conned about 7,500 victims.

After the Canadian man told the crook he was a thief and a scammer, the tech support scammer said he had the man’s address and would send assassins.

Web giants Google and Facebook are striking back against tech support scammers who use the companies’ ad networks to snag victims.
