Polska Policja Virus

What is Polska Policja?

The Polska Policja "Komputer Zostal Zablokowany" message is a scam proliferated by cyber criminals, and never sent to computer users by the Polish Police. This is a ransomware infection, which blocks computer users' screens and demands payment of a bogus fine, supposedly to unlock their PCs.

This scam originates from a family of screen lockers called Reveton and predominantly targets PC users from Poland. When this ransomware infects a computer, it blocks the desktop and displays a deceptive message in the Polish language, accompanied by Polish police graphics.

Note that Poland's police cybercrime department has no connection with this message - it is a scam created by Cyber criminals who extort money from unsuspecting PC users who fall for their trickery and pay the bogus fine.

To make their fake messages appear authentic, cyber criminals localize them - a ransomware infection on a computer located in Romania is displayed in the Romanian language and enhanced with graphics pertaining to local authorities. Such localization is possible, since ransomware infections are capable of detecting the IP addresses of computers.

The screen capture window and text claiming that the computer was blocked due to law violations, were developed with the sole purpose of intimidating PC users. If you observe such a message blocking your computer screen, you have been targeted by cyber criminals. Do not pay the bogus 200zl. fine - you will lose your money and your computer will remain infected.
