Malware like POLÍCIA Departamento Cibercrime Ransomware Target a Specific Region
One of the characteristics of malware such as the POLÍCIA Departamento Cibercrime Ransomware is that these malware threats tend to infect computers located in a specific geographical location. As part of its infection process, the POLÍCIA Departamento Cibercrime Ransomware will detect the target's IP address and then display a message corresponding to that part of the world. The POLÍCIA Departamento Cibercrime Ransomware message is displayed if the victim's computer is located in Portugal, but variants exist for numerous other countries. Each variant uses the targeted country's police force in its message and a threatening message written in the infected computer's language. It is important to note that, in spite of the fact that the POLÍCIA Departamento Cibercrime Ransomware displays a message from the police, there is no connection between POLÍCIA Departamento Cibercrime Ransomware and law enforcement.
The POLÍCIA Departamento Cibercrime Ransomware scam is simple:
- POLÍCIA Departamento Cibercrime Ransomware infects a computer, blocking access to the infected computer's Desktop, files, Start Menu, Task Manager and various other components. The victim is essentially locked out of the infected computer.
- POLÍCIA Departamento Cibercrime Ransomware displays a fake message from the police accusing the victim of illegal activity, such as viewing copyrighted content or distributing malware.
- The POLÍCIA Departamento Cibercrime Ransomware message threatens the victim with jail time unless a fine of 100 Euros is paid using a money transfer service such as Ukash or PaySafeCard.
