Several people have messaged me recently asking about “driver update notices” that are popping up on their computers.
These messages are usually presented in pop-up windows or messages in the notifications area at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
Regardless of how these messages show up, many of them are outright scams, and the ones that are legitimate are recommending a piece of software that you don’t need.
Just when I think the scammers on Facebook have reached rock bottom, they manage to come up with an even more despicable scam.
The “Covert Redirect” phishing scam has been around for a long time, but scammers are now using it to harvest the email addresses and passwords that victims use to log in to their Facebook accounts.
