'Windows Firewall Blocked The Internet Due To Security Breach' Pop-Ups

Posted: July 14, 2017

The 'Windows Firewall Blocked The Internet Due To Security Breach' pop-ups are annoying messages, which users might encounter when they browse low-quality websites linked to pirated software, adult content or other dubious media. The good news is that seeing these pop-ups does not mean that your computer's security is in danger, but following the instructions seen in these messages may put you in harm's way. The 'Windows Firewall Blocked The Internet Due To Security Breach' pop-ups are not legitimate, and they have nothing in common with Microsoft or any of their security applications. Instead, these messages are the product of a group of con artists who want to trick people into believing that their computers have become the target of hackers or threats, and they may lose their data unless they take action immediately.

We've already encountered the 'Windows Firewall Blocked The Internet Due To Security Breach' pop-ups on two separate domains - Savetosupport.online and Pricegroup.online. Both of these domains host misleading pages, which are designed to look as if they are associated with Microsoft. However, their true purpose is to display fraudulent messages whose end-goal is to convince people to call a phone number, which supposedly belongs to a reputable technical support service provider. However, the numbers linked to the pop-ups are associated with a group of con artists who are using these dodgy tricks to take money from people by convincing them to pay staggering amounts in exchange for services or software. One of the phone numbers that we have encountered in the 'Windows Firewall Blocked The Internet Due To Security Breach' pop-ups is 888-565-0999, but it is certain that the con artists behind this hoax use many other numbers as well.

Technical support tactics are one of the biggest dangers of the World Wide Web, and this is why we would like to remind our readers that they should never trust Web browser messages claiming to contain information regarding various system issues, threat infections, and other computer troubles. These messages are usually fake, and their sole purpose is to promote fake technical support services, which are nothing more than a blatant hoax.
