Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

This is August 6, 2017, and at 6:00 am I was hacked by a system named Clampi.

Microsoft interrupted my system and threatened to disconnect and prevent me from using the Internet if I did not call their listed number immediately. They went on remotesupport.com and removed the compromising data. By 10:30 this morning, my computer was up and running as a clean machine. You are okay!

You can find Clampi on Wikipedia.
