Tech support scammers hacked back by vigilante. By John E Dunn
A UK cybercrime vigilante was so incensed by tech support scammers he reverse-hacked the call centre in India to reveal CCTV footage of perpetrators as they ripped off their victims in real-life calls.
Publicised by a BBC documentary, the hack was the work of ‘Jim Browning’ (not his real name), who has acquired a following on his YouTube channel for his campaigns to expose how these crimes work and the individuals behind them.
I can't ever endorse doing this. It's dangerous and possibly illegal. But I hope law enforcement plays nice and uses this evidence to nail these scammers to the wall.
