Be warned: After global tech outage, phishing schemes and scammers may try to exploit you

Efforts to deal with a global tech outage that caused chaos for travellers, hospitals and banks are underway, but it may not be the end of your computer woes: Phishing schemes trying to reel in businesses and individuals are now coming to light.

Security specialists are warning to be aware of malicious actors purporting to be tech specialists offering help to recover from the outage, which was caused by a faulty software update from the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike.

Some of the scammers may even be posing as employees of Texas-based CrowdStrike, which has offices around the world.
