Sergey Kuzmenko, a senior specialist at the Roskachestvo Center for Digital Expertise, told socialbites.ca that computer masters receive extra money from the Russians for connecting a non-existent WPA5 security protocol to a home router.
“Master scammers will tell you that your system is very vulnerable, you need to connect the new WPA5 security protocol. Actually there is only WPA3 at the moment. With you, the wizard may offer to check the computer for viruses, and, imitating the interface with the code, he will go to geektyper.com and start the “checking” process. For an inexperienced or even non-English-speaking user, everything will look very natural.”
The expert explained that if there is a problem with a router or a PC, you should request a price list for services before a specialist arrives, and then compare the cost on the internet so as not to overpay.
“The chances of encountering fraud in accredited service centers, although real, are much lower. Do not forget that the organization is obliged to draw up service contracts with each client, provide receipts, as well as draw up a law on the work performed, ”added Kuzmenko.
Internet users before can speed up home Wi-Fi using the hidden settings of the router.
