Hello, this Interpol thing is really frightening and even right now I am still scared! Help! Early in the morning today, I was using my iPad to surf the internet with the safari, and all of a sudden, a pornographic website showed up, after which I was informed of a notification, stating that I would face a term of 5-8 years in jail or a £100 fine for illegal pornography. The charge with illegal online pornography is seemingly put forward by the government agency of the Interpol Department of Cybercrime. I am threatened to pay the fine using the Ukash. And my safari is now completely locked, I have no idea how to unlock it. It is really upsetting and annoying. Is the charge real? Do I have to pay the fine to unlock my safari and avoid being put in prison? Or it is just a scam? But how can I remove it from my device without paying the fine? Please help me!
In recent years, iPhone/iPad is more and more becoming the target of many popup ransomware programs. Usually, these malicious programs are designed to damage the iPhone/iPad device in the way of preventing the user from using the web browser such as safari or chrome to surf the internet. And the Interpol ransomware is as well an ill-known member of these programs which is created to aim at the iPhone/iPad users in both North American and European countries. Spam emails that carry such a ransomware program as an attachment, reliable websites that have been hacked and conquered, and malicious popups that contain suspicious advertising content are most common methods used by the hacker to distribute such a ransomware program as the Interpol ransomware virus. As soon as the Interpol ransomware has successfully sneaked into the user’s device, it will immediately lock up the victim’s safari or chrome by taking advantage of the JavaScript technology in the name of the Interpol Department of Cybercrime, with a notification stating that your web browser is locked because of the illegal online activities like watching child porn videos and you will have to pay a fine of a certain amount, for example £100, to unlock your iPhone/iPad via Ukash or Paysafecard within 24 or 48 hours, if not, you will be put into prison for a long period of time according the law of the nation. While, according to the reports of many victims, no matter how much you pay, the situation caused by the Interpol ransomware virus will not become better at all. So, do keep in mind that, however you are threatened by the Interpol ransomware, for example, blocking your apple ID or erasing all your data on the device, never become so nervous as to rush to pay the non-existent fine hoping everything will be good after payment, because by now there has been no reliable evidence showing that this Interpol ransomware will do damage to the infected device as it claims. Instead, you are strongly recommended to turn to an expert in this field to have it removed as soon as possible.
People who have actually watched immoral pornographic videos and feel worried and embarrassed are easy to be fooled by this Interpol ransomware scam, because they think that by hurrying to pay the imaginary fine, they will be able to escape from any punishment and unlock his iPhone/iPad. On the notification, the payment is demanded to be made in the way of using Ukash or PaySafecard. After payment, a code will be provided and the victim needs to type in the code where the hacker demands to unlock his device and avoid being punished. If the designer of the Interpol ransomware virus keeps his word, the situation becomes better for the victims who are worried about the image or reputation being devastated by this Interpol ransomware virus. But it has been a fact that the payment will not help at all except bring about financial loss.
