'RDN/Trojan/Hacking file Detected' Pop-Up

The 'RDN/Trojan/Hacking file Detected' pop-up windows are classified as fake computer security alerts that aim to convince users to call toll-free phone lines such as 208-133-6658 and 423-218-2922. These phone numbers have been involved in phone harassing cases since the start of 2017 and were mentioned in user reports at community services like Numari.com/phonenumber and Whosenumberisthis.co.uk. The 'RDN/Trojan/Hacking file Detected' pop-up windows offer misleading information and PC users should avoid contact with the people on the end of the 208-133-6658 and the 423-218-2922 phone lines.

We are aware that the fake alerts are generated on sites like grandhostnhelp[.]info that are registered to the 143.95.104.243 IP address. Most of the leading cybersecurity vendors are working with teams at Google Inc. and the Mozilla Foundation to block access to sites like grandhostnhelp[.]info.
