First time being targeted by an attempted cybersecurity phishing scam. Fake
@jonathonGuil claiming to be Jonathan Guilford of Reuters DM’d me for a podcast - felt super phishy, so my curiosity got the best of me. Interviewer/impersonator kept video off during the podcast and his lisp + Asian American accent (lol) didn't match the voice of real British
@JMAGuilford (I checked beforehand).
Midway through he asked me to screenshare in Microsoft Teams browser and let him control my laptop 😂. Hard no. Then someone else hopped on with an even thicker Asian American accent impersonating
@harmonleon saying we could reschedule and try the "screenshare and control" thing again later.
Recorded the whole thing and reported it to the FBI’s IC3. Stay safe out there kids!
