Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni Ransomware – One More Version of the Ukash Virus

ESG security researchers have gotten various messages of infection with variants of the Ukash Virus. The Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware is one of the many possible faces of this nefarious winlocker. Basically, criminals attempt to make their victims panic by impersonating law enforcement, taking over the victim’s computer and refusing to return control of the infected computer system until the victim pays a certain amount (in this case, 100 Euros) using the Ukash money transfer service. The Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware message impersonates the Italian police department in charge of communications and computer-related crime and issues. While this department of the Italian police is entirely legitimate, the Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware message has absolutely no relationship with legitimate law enforcement officials – Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware is part of a scam designed to scare computer users into handing over their cash.
