Oh, my dear! Is it the truth that my Android Phone was blocked by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police? I was asked to pay a fine of $300 through Ukash to unblock my phone. The warning stated that my phone violated laws, etc. My phone is being recorded…”your phone is detained,” “your data is encrypted”. All these messages make me so scared. I don’t know what should I do. I was wondering whether I should pay for the fine to unblock my phone or not, since I need my phone to deal with my daily business. Thus, this problem should be solved immediately. To pay or not to pay, that is a question. When I calm down later, I confirm this message on the Google. From the Google, I got to know that this is a kind of newly created virus. It is so difficult to be removed since many samrtphone users said about this nasty virus. Anyway, how to get rid of it is a big problem which would drive me mad. I have tried many ways to delete it, but it didn’t work. What should I do then? Urgent! Any recommendation will be highly appreciated!
Royal Canadian Mounted Police Virus (also called RCMP Virus for short) is a ransomware that blocks the aimed computers or Mac and tries to trick money from the computers or Mac users as much as it can. At the beginning, this virus aims to attack the PC users in North America, mainly in Canada. It can infect any kinds of operating system, no matter a Windows computer or a Mac computer. Infecting and ruining the user’s PC system are just a piece of cake for the RCMP Virus. And now, with the highly development of the high-tech, more and more people use their Android Phones to surf the Internet and do on line shopping and make the payment on line as well. The smartphone users have become the victims of the virus as well. This malicious ransomware can sneak into the PC or phone usually with the help of a Trojan, then runs in the background by seeking for the unfounded weaknesses. There are lots of such ransomwares that target the innocent victims worldwide, such as Sacem virus from France, FBI Moneypak Virus from UAS and Buma Stemra from the Netherlands.
