Cause

After following a fake security warning, an auditor's company-issued PC came under a third party's remote control (tech-support scam)

Timeline

  1. An organic JAS contract auditor fell for a support scam while browsing at home
  2. First disclosure

Response

  • Notified individuals
  • Staff training
  • More monitoring

Individual notices; consulted police; continued dark-web monitoring; stronger system security; security training for staff and contract auditors

What you should do

  1. Don't open links in emails from this company. The apology email itself may be fake
  2. Treat refund or apology calls and texts as scams. Call back only on the number from the official site
  3. Watch for unexpected mail or invoices; your address is hard to change
  4. Check the company's notice to see if you're affected

Lessons for companies

  1. Report to the PPC: preliminary in 3–5 days, final in 30 (60 if malicious)
  2. Run red teaming and AI-assisted hardening, and publish how much you invest
