A computer hacker has marketed paid training to help those who follow it to modify their Linky meter and reduce their electricity consumption, and therefore their bill.
After the Linky meter traffickers who proposed installing bypasses to artificially reduce recorded electricity consumption by up to 75%, here is the crook training on the little green device! Spotted by Zatazthe hacker broadcasts an ad in which he offers, for a large sum of money, to teach his students how to tamper with their meter, to save money.
Linky pirate meter training sold for more than 1,500 euros
With the planned end of the price shield, to which we must add successive increases in electricity prices, computer hackers see the blow coming and seize the opportunity to scrounge a little more money from consumers.
The cyber specialist Zataz came across a somewhat unusual announcement, from a hacker who offers training dedicated to modifying the famous Linky meters. In its commercial offer, it explains providing access to a “ unique know-how », which allows you to reduce the price of your electricity bill by 50 to 75%, in addition to becoming a Linky technician.
A tempting offer, especially since the pirate indicates selling “ a service undetectable by the energy supplier “. Except that the little magic trick has a cost: 1,650 euros to access this rather comprehensive training.
Five-star support, sorry!
For this tidy sum, the “trainer” comes to meet you, gives you the tools to modify the meter and even offers five-star support, in case you have “ questions or need advice after your training “. That is the demand of the people ?
Not afraid of anything, the scammer even goes so far as to say that “ after a modification, a customer generates on average two additional customers from his entourage once the result is observed “. Well, to avoid getting scammed and falling into the net of justice, the best we can advise you is not to touch your Linky meter, and to let it go about its little life peacefully. It will be better for everyone.
