How does Trojan.Ransomlock.T work?

Most computer users suffering from Trojan.Ransomlock.T cannot pinpoint the moment when the threat has entered their personal computers. However, once all files linked to the ransomware are in place and ready to attack, you should notice that your PC is running more sluggishly than usual. Needless to say, the best indication that your system is infected with ransomware is a specific notification locking down your desktop. Depending on the country you live in and the language you use on your computer you may be affected by the Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus, Computeren er Blevet Blokeret Virus, El Equipo ha Sido Bloqueado Virus and similar threats, all of which are simply different Trojan’s versions.

All threats linked to the Lyposit ransomware are meant to push you into paying a specific fine (e.g. €100 or 300PLN). You may be asked to pay this fine via Ukash or Paysafecard, and we suggest you act extra careful with these money transfer systems. Once a transaction is made it is nearly impossible to get the money back, and this is exactly why Trojan’s developers have utilized them to collect the fictitious fines. Would you think that authoritative law enforcement organizations like the Federal Department of Justice would ask you to pay fines via such questionable systems and for the crimes you probably have not even performed? Of course they would not, which is why you should be able to disclose the scam right away.
