Mozilla Firefox Critical Error

If you are using the Mozilla Firefox web browser, you might become a victim of the Mozilla Firefox Critical Error scam. The same kind of scam – however, with a different name – is likely to be introduced to users of other browsers as well, and so it would be a mistake to just assume that you are safe if you are using, for example, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. On top of that, there are plenty of other scams that you could face, including Wannacry Detected Scam or Critical Security Warning! Scam. At the time of our research, the webpage representing the scam discussed in this report was no longer active, but we have to warn that schemers are quick to set up new scam pages and even adjust the scams themselves to ensure that users are bombarded in new and undiscovered ways. All in all, all security alerts represented via unfamiliar pages should not be taken seriously, and if you follow this rule of thumb, you should be able to detect fake alerts immediately.

The fictitious Mozilla Firefox Critical Error warning used to be represented via http://0x00381136100.bid, but this page has already been reported and taken down. When it was still active, it represented a misleading alert suggesting that a “Trojan Virus” allegedly active on your operating system has attempted to gain access to your logins and personal information. While we cannot guarantee that malware capable of stealing data and hijacking your virtual accounts does not exist, we can guarantee that no “Trojan Virus” exists on your operating system. At the bottom of the message, a fake helpline number was represented. The same number would then show up via a pop-up suggesting that an error by the code “0xKB1546764” was supposedly discovered. If you are introduced to an alert like this right now or if you face anything like it in the future, the first thing you need to do is close your browser to remove the fake alert. If the scam notification paralyzes the browser, you can restart the PC. Whatever you do, do NOT call the bogus helpline number. If you do that, schemers could trick you into disclosing personal data or even exposing your operating system to malware and cyber criminals.
