USA Cyber Crime Investigations Virus

What is USA Cyber Crime Investigations?

The USA Cyber Crime Investigations, Cyber Command of [State name] message, "ATTENTION! Your computer has been blocked up for safety reasons listed below", blocks computer screens and demands payment of a $300 fine (using MoneyPak or MoneyGram) for alleged law violations.

This is a scam. These messages are not sent by any legitimate authorities from the USA - they are caused by a ransomware virus created by cyber criminals.

The virus originates from a family called Urausy and targets PC users from the USA - specifically, various states including California, Arizona, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Texas, Utah, Maryland, Washington, Oregon, New York, New Jersey, Nevada, Indiana, Hawaii, Georgia, and Florida.

This targeting is possible since ransomware viruses are capable of detecting the IP addresses of computers infiltrated. This information allows cyber criminals to serve localized variants of their fake messages.

PC users should be aware that no legitimate authorities or organizations, internationally, use computer screen-blocking messages to collect fines for any law violations. This is a scam and paying the fake fine is equivalent to sending your money to cyber criminals.

The USA Cyber Crime Investigations message, which demands payment of a fine to unblock your computer, is a scam - ignore this message and do not pay any fines. The correct way to deal with this message is to eliminate it from your computer.

The USA Cyber Crime Investigations virus targets various states of the USA, however, if cyber criminals are unable to detect a specific location of the PC targeted for infection, the user's screen is locked with the message, "Mandiant U.S.A Cyber Security".

Commonly, these ransomware viruses are distributed using 'exploit kits', which infiltrate users' operating systems via security vulnerabilities detected within outdated software (Java, Flash, etc.) Therefore, the best way to protecting your computer is to keep all software up-to-date and use legitimate antivirus and anti-spyware programs.

The USA Cyber Crime Investigations ransomware virus is a typical scam, which exploits the names of legitimate authorities in order to make the fake message appear authentic. To create a sense of urgency, cyber criminals implement a 48-hour countdown timer and stipulate that the fine be paid within this period - otherwise a criminal case will be opened.

In fact, this is merely a cleverly-designed scam, which attempts to trick PC users into paying the bogus fine. If your computer is infected with the USA Cyber Crime Investigations virus, use the removal instructions provided to eliminate this scam from your PC.
