'877-870-1310' Pop-Ups

By GoldSparrow in Adware

The '877-870-1310' pop-ups that say 'Access to Your Computer Has Been Restricted' are not legitimate security alerts from Microsoft Corp. even if they include the Windows logo and feature the same background as Suppport.microsoft.com. The '877-870-1310' pop-up alerts are misleading messages that can be found on phishing sites like honyoffpc[.]online, honyoffbox[.]online, and levelffpc[.]online, which are registered to the 165.227.77.124 IP address. The '877-870-1310' warnings are displayed via a pop-up loop, which is a code that is interpreted by Internet browsers as a command to keep a dialog box on the screen as long as the browser is opened. As long as the '877-870-1310' warnings are on display switching tabs and opening bookmarks may be impossible. However, you should look for the 'Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs' at the bottom of the '877-870-1310' dialog boxes and use it. That way pages like honyoffpc[.]online, honyoffbox[.]online, and levelffpc[.]online would be unable to generate numerous '877-870-1310' pop-ups. Cybersecurity experts warn that the '877-870-1310' notifications may be shown on a background that is a screenshot of the legitimate support page for Microsoft customers and offer the following text:

As mentioned above, the '877-870-1310' security alerts are not to be trusted. The 877-870-1310 phone line is operated by con artists who have been using fake error codes to lure users into calling them. We have seen the same tactic with the 'Error # 3658ad79cc3021a' warnings and the 'Error # 3658fa2deb39539' pop-ups before. In both cases, computer users were suggested that a virus has taken hold of the system and extracted personal information like credit card number, social media logins, and email account logins. Some users may interpret the persistence of the '877-870-1310' notifications as a sign that their systems are insecure, but that is not true. You should avoid contact with the fraudsters that manage the 877-870-1310 toll-free phone number because they may attempt to connect to your PC remotely. If they gain access to your machine, they may lock you out and say "the virus locked you out." An offer to help you would follow and a set price for the aid as well. Do not fall for these tricks and ignore the '877-870-1310' pop-ups. PC users that find themselves redirected to pages like honyoffpc[.]online, honyoffbox[.]online, and levelffpc[.]online may want to scan their systems for unwanted apps that generate traffic to phishing portals.
