WARNING Ransomwarethere is a scam going around spread this to everybody............... quote: The FBI is warning against a virus called Reveton ransomware, which can activate by clicking on a compromised web page. The scam appears to come from the FBI, complete with an FBI logo and a warning accusing the user of distributing child pornography. It then freezes the computer and demands payment of $100 or more within 72 hours.

Whoever is running this better not be in the US or US friendly nation. Faking to be the FBI is generally pretty serious of a crime. |

Thanks for posting this here. Most people would consider having their computer locked more a security issue than the Nigerians begging for dollars schemes. |

Friend got hit by that last week. He is not computer savy by any means but was smart enough to know this was a scam. Typical diagnosis though..... "I went looking at some porn then the next day I had this." |

One of the instructors here at work got hit by that via email just this week. Neither McAfee Enterprise or Kaspersky Rescue CD would clean it. I was able to neuter it well enough and restoring to a two week old checkpoint I was able to get the machine working again. I could just as easily reimaged the machine but felt like taking a crack at it.
The instructor readily admits he is totally computer illiterate. |

At a high level, Reveton is similar to the "fake antivirus" programs that seem to be declining. This substitutes the approach to motivating the victim with something more confrontational and a programming wrinkle or two. » Ransomware a growing menace, says SymantecIn the deception department, like some of the more popular fake AV families focus these look much more intimidating on the screen than at a user profile or system level. The last Reveton I looked at last month did it with one EXE and one LNK; changes to the Registry, if any, were irrelevant. One cleanup reference: » www.bleepingcomputer.com ··· nsomwareSpeaking of Reveton: » Hunting Down and Killing Ransomware(FWIW, it looks just as intimidating if one gets infected while running as a non-admin.) |
