Washington State and Microsoft Sue Companies for Using Fake Security Alerts

(Image is used under the Pixabay license)

Washington state (and Microsoft) are suing companies that use those fake security alerts to trick people into downloading and using their products. You know the ones. They usually say something like "Warning! Your computer is infected with viruses and you must download a quick security update to stop it".

Your first warning should be when they ask for your credit card number, but I don't hold that mistake against anyone. The real problem is the scumbag companies who utilize this kind of manipulation. It makes you wonder how they've gotten away with it for so long in the first place.

However, that case has recently been overturned due to the fact that the RIAA's argument that merely having copyrighted music available for download is a crime.
