As police ransomware Trojans spread throughout the world, these have started to spoof legitimate police corporations from countries that were not targeted previously by displaying bogus messages containing the logo and a fake message from a law enforcement agency. The Malta Police Force MPF Ransomware is one of these more recent variants in ransomware Trojan attacks, targeting computers located in Malta. Like most police ransomware Trojans, the Malta Police Force MPF Ransomware Trojan displays a fake message from the Malta Police Force, claiming that the victim's computer is 'suspended on the grounds of unauthorized cyber activity' and, like other ransomware Trojans, demands that the computer user pays a penalty in money in order to unblock the infected computer. If the Malta Police Force MPF Ransomware Trojan is displaying a message on your computer, it is important to avoid paying the fine and, instead, removing this threat with the help of an appropriate anti-malware program.
