What is Ured Za Posebne Poslove Sigurnosti?
The Ured Za Posobne Poslove Sigurnosti (Croatian Police) message, "Vaš kompjuter je blokiran zbog barem jednoga od razioga navedenog u nastavku", blocks the computer user's screen and demands payment of a 100 Euro (or 500 HRK) fine. This is a scam.
If you observe this message on your computer screen, your PC is infiltrated with a ransomware virus, which makes false accusations of law violations such as watching child pornography, being in possession of pirated copies of music and video files, etc. This is in order to trick you into paying a bogus fine.
Note that paying this fine, using Ukash or paysafecard when requested by this message, is equivalent to sending your money to cyber criminals. This ransomware virus originates from a family called "Urausy" and targets PC users predominantly from Croatia.
Internet users should be aware that no legitimate authorities, including Ured Za Posobne Poslove Sigurnosti, use screen-blocking messages to collect fines for any law violations.
Rogue messages, which appear at system start-up and disable the Task Manager and other Windows features, are known as 'ransomware' and are widely used by cyber criminals to extort money from unsuspecting PC users.
To make the deceptive messages appear authentic, cyber criminals develop the ransomware with an IP-detection feature to allow it to determine the location of the computer targeted for infection. This allows the software to present each victim with a localized variant of the screen-blocking message.
The Ured Za Posobne Poslove Sigurnosti message is a scam - do not trust this message or you will lose your money to cyber criminals.
Ured Za Posobne Poslove Sigurnosti is just one of many authority names, which are exploited by cyber criminals responsible for creating ransomware viruses from the Urausy family.
Other known localized variants of this scam exploit the names of the FBI Cybercrime Division (targeting PC users from USA), AFP (targeting PC users from Australia), RCMP (targeting PC users from Canada), amongst many others. Commonly, ransomware viruses are proliferated using 'exploit kits' (BlackHole), which infiltrate users' operating systems through infected email messages, malicious websites, and drive-by downloads.
The method exploits any detected security vulnerabilities within the system, and therefore, the best way to protect your PC is by keeping the operating system and installed software up-to-date. If your computer is already infected with the Ured Za Posobne Poslove Sigurnosti ransomware virus, use the removal guide provided to eliminate this scam.
