Help!! I have a FBI thing on my phone. It is either a real accusation or a piece of nasty ransomware. But I am not sure. Can you please help? My ignorant son tried to use my phone to visit a game website full of suspicious advertising content of all kinds of games. According to him, all of a sudden, the phone was locked completely, with a notification saying something like “ATTENTION! Your phone has been blocked up for safety reasons”. He was so scared and attempted to close the continuously popover notification, but just failed no matter how hard he tried. I have no idea how to stop this nasty thing at all. Can you guys please help? It will be greatly appreciated for any help. Thanks.
The FBI ransomware is classified to be a member of the Trojan/Koler Ransomware family of computer infections, which is designed to identify all kinds of phones/tablets as its targets all around the world. As soon as the FBI ransomware is activated, a fake notification will pop up immediately and nastily, stating that your device has been locked because it is found involved in illegal pornography, which is worded to pretend to be the agency of the FBI.

Hey, there? I am from New Zealand. There is a suspicious notification on my iPhone now. It is something like your phone is locked for the illegal pornography. There is an email address of “[email protected]”. It seems like an address of the justice agency of New Zealand. Is it real? My iPhone is completely blocked and I can’t even to power it off. I am really scared. Is that possible that the authority will come to my house? But I have done nothing illegal. I can’t remove this thing myself. Please help!
The malware with the similar message like “Your iPhone/iPad locked by the illegal pornography [email protected]” is a piece of ransomware that can be called fake government virus like the fake FBI virus prevailing in the USA. Some common traits are shared by all variants of such a virus. First, to force the victims to pay the non-existent fine as fast as they can, the virus usually disguises itself to be the powerful law enforcement agency of the target country. In this case, we can tell from the fake email address “[email protected]”, the virus pretends as the justice agency of the New Zealand to threaten to victims to pay a fine for illegal pornography. For the victims who are sensitive and prudent enough, this trick is being able to avoid easily. While for some victims, the case becomes a nightmare. They are frightened so much at sight of this scam that can’t help moving to pay the imaginary fine as the hacker’s demand without having the situation turned any better. Some of them payed as much as 500 bucks to the hacker’s account in an irreversible method. Apart from this trick, another method the hacker uses to threaten the victims to pay is the second common aspect of such an infection we are going to analyze. It really makes sense in combination with the trick we have just discussed to drive the victims to step into the whole scam trap. And that is supposed to be probably the most annoying and upsetting trait that drive mad the victims. Yes, the virus will partly or completely block you from using the device again. In some cases, even the attempt to restart or power off the device is prevented, let alone using it as normal to operate such functions as making calls, sending messages and running an antivirus program to detect and kill the virus. And this aspect of the virus plays a critical role in making the victims believe that the hacker’s claim of deleting all the data stored on the device is real.The logic of such a judgement can be that since the infected device has been blocked completely by the hacker, it is natural that the data is being at his disposal. While, as a matter of fact, by now, there is no evidence that show a fake government virus like the one discussed in this article will delete the data of the device infected with it. Finally, to escape from being reversed and traced, usually, the hacker will prefer to demand the victims to pay the non-existent fine in an irreversible and untraceable way like via GreenDot MoneyPak, Ukash or Paysafecard code in the case of the victims in the USA. This adds the sadness and sorrow of the victims who have been fooled into getting trapped.

What is a fake police virus? How to identify a fake police virus like the fake FBI virus? Some victims say that they can feel it is just a fake police scam virus at the sight of the infection. While some who are not that techy and sensitive feel freaked out about the virus. In some cases, the victims are so horrible that they end up paying a non-existent fine as the hackers’ demand without the problem being solved. Some even deal with the infection in a ridiculous way, for example by throwing the infected device into a river to eliminate the evidence, because they scare the virus-claimed authority will come to their house to arrest and put them in jail. What is more, since the first infection about several years ago, the virus has varied a great deal in many ways. There are many different variants prevailing all over the world.
