Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has ordered the closure of a technical support organization through the New York High court, after Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) informed them of an alleged scam. The New York High court has passed a motion, that orders operation to be ceased, while Federal Trade Center investigates the claims made by Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB). Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) asserts that the technical support organization offered bogus and fake technical support to buyers, while taking the appearance of Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). FTC asked the court to close down this operation after Facebook (NASDAQ:FB)’s alleged warning. According to the Federal trade Commission; the apparent hoax was carried out in quite a clever manner. The tech Support Company purchased tricky and deceptive online advertisements that persuaded people that they were calling the specialized help line for real and existent organizations. In other similar cases, they posed as Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) representatives. These representatives tricked naive clients into allowing access to their personal computers. Once they had access, they sold them sham guarantee projects and programming that was available free of charge otherwise; for a selling price that ranged from $149 to $249. In some cases, the charges went as high as $600. The business that the company carried out is said to have generated a lot of profit. In 2012, it helped the company generate revenue worth $2.5 million, as claimed by the Federal Trade Commission. On Friday, the Judge clearly stated that the Company’s operations will stay static until a final decision regarding the matter has been decided upon. If the federal Trade Commission is capable of bringing in enough proof that the company is blameworthy in court, the organization will cease to exist and function. As a result of this, the organization administration will be asked to refund to individuals who paid for their services. There are several other similar cases, where big web organizations, such as Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) have gone to the authorities to put an end to such illicit activities. Recently Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) revealed that it has been looking into websites where professional hackers sell and expose passwords of different user accounts. Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) claims to have made such a system that notifies a user instantly, if their password has been stolen without their knowledge. It disables the hacked password automatically and alerts users. This service will be of a massive service to users who have always had threat of their passwords being hacked that resulted in their personal data being compromised. Recently, Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) spotted explicit images of a child in an email account, and tipped the concerned authorities. The email account user was arrested immediately, and was found out to be a convicted child sex offender. In the current media and web age, major companies are starting to carry out social responsibilities in a new way. Such stern actions are bound to secure the vast internet world and result in ensuring users’ data security.
