What do I do to get rid of the FBI virus pin code on Samsung tablet? Please help.
Does your device ask for a pin code after it has been attacked by FBI virus? If you entered the pin code you set, you would not be able to unlock the device because the pin code has been reset by the hackers. FBI Virus pin code is another tool used by hackers to enhance the ransomware. The hackers lock your device with ransomware in the name of the FBI. To prevent you from removing the virus without paying the so-called fine, it uses pin code to lock your device. You can’t access the device even though in safe mode. Many victims thought the FBI warning was real and paid the fine via prepaid card as it demands. In fact, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) will not inform you about a warning via a popup on the mobile device. How come the FBI collect fine via a popup? If you did violate laws, the police would break in your house and take you directly. You may wonder why your phone/tablet is blocked since you haven’t done anything wrong. Then, why has your phone/tablet been locked by warning with FBI logo?

To make the warning look authentic, it shows logos of related law enforcement agencies, photos of presidents or prime ministers, specific laws of the United States of America that you “violated”. Sometimes, it also has your location, IP address, device model, a picture of your face and even a small part of your contacts which make you believe that the police are monitoring you. It asks you to pay a fine via prepaid card like Paysafecard, Vanilla card, Amazon/iTune gift card, Moneypak or Ukash within 48 or 72 hours. The size of fine commonly is $500 or $200. Why does the criminal demand you to pay via prepaid card? It is because that is very difficult to track where the money is going to after you pay via prepaid card. It scares you that the police will arrest you and interrogate your friends if you don’t pay the fine in time. The enhanced version of virus even locks your device with a pin code. Though you restart your device in safe mode, you still are not able to access the device because the hackers reset your pin code. Do not be panic when seeing such a FBI warning. It is fake.
