My brother in Tulsa got called by someone that said they were Apple. He gave them remote access to his PC, not the Mac I gave him. They turned off all his malware programs. They wanted to charge him $150 to install something that worked better. $150 is the amount he owed on his electric bill.

When came here for Easter after the event. Adding his laptop to my guest wifi increased the traffic so much my wifi could not stream. Had to turn my guest network off to watch my AppleTV. After he left my network traffic went back to normal. Don't run any network analyzing software as it hasn't been a problem. He was on my Cox Business connection and they call if a device on my lan is spamming, usually within a few minutes. Not a peep from Cox. My guess is the hackers have him running a VPN.

Also, while he was here I gave him access to my laster printer. He printed out 300 pages of stuff to put in a 3 ring binder. Told him he should make PDFs instead of wasting time and resources printing paper copies. He also wanted to print some 150 pictures of extraterrestrials, from web sites. Told him if I had known he was going to print 300 pages I would not have let him, and 150 pictures was too much. He said he had paper. Showed him I have not just a ream, but a case of paper and it was not paper it was the toner. Then showed him how much toner costs for a laser print, not that 150 pages of ink would not be expensive. Again told him printing copies was a waste of time and resources, just save the pics on his computer. He got glassy eyed like he didn't have any idea of what I was talking about.
