Thanks for the provided links. I understand how important it is to timely update software, have trusted antiviruses and THINK.
I know many examples of phone scams when thieves wanted to learn credit card data from people pretending to be bank representatives. And they know the psychological tricks of people's thinking, so that's a scary thing.
