We must be in guard in every way. I certainly keep my Facebook fully secure and low profile. Highest security settings. I never click on links to emails and texts.

I thought hackers or scammers when I saw the headline but people posing as CrowdStrike is low. Probably some Microsoft posers in there as well.

You call them on a known number. Just like any other scam unless they're calling from an office number ignore calls from a personal phone.
