The 'Unité Spéciale de la Police' Ransomware Trojan is designed to target computer systems located in Luxembourg. There are many variants of this attack, each one usually designed to target computer systems in a particular part of the world. A marked rise in Police Ransomware attacks has been observed in recent weeks, most of which are part of the Urausy family of police Winlockers.

The 'Unité Spéciale de la Police' Ransomware Isn't Backed Up by the Police

Criminals use the 'Unité Spéciale de la Police' Ransomware as well as one of its various clones such as the 'Politiets Sikkerhetstjeneste' Ransomware, the 'Keskusrikospoliisi' Ransomware and the 'Poliisin Tekniikkakeskus' Ransomware to steal money from inexperienced computer users. The 'Unité Spéciale de la Police' Ransomware scam works thanks to a Winlockers component. This malicious component blocks all access to the infected computer, preventing the computer user from accessing the infected operating system or files stored on the affected computer. Apart from the Winlocker, the 'Unité Spéciale de la Police' Ransomware displays a fake message from the police which accuses the victim of illegal activity, such as viewing child pornography or distributing malware. This message goes on to claim that it is possible to avoid prosecution if a one-time bogus police 'fine' is paid by the victim.
