Sensationally reported that the UKash Virus has landed in France. As one of Ukash ransonware’s transformations, French UKash Virus is just like the newborn nightmare bringing disaster to the French Internet users, including Android phone users. Whether have been confronted with the ransomware or not, please be sure to take precautions and resolutely against the nasty virus.
French UKash Virus is a classic variant of the UKash Android virus group. As we know, once being infected with the cunning virus, the victims would receive a shocking message showing in their computer screen, telling them the whole system has been blocked out. According to this appalling warning message, the reason why the computer or the Android platform has been forcibly locked up is the targeted user was suspected of illegal behaviour associated with watching or distributing pornographic material, which definitely violated the law and must be punished. Taking advantage of this fake charge, the insidious French UKash ransomware asked the victim to pay a nonexistent fine of 100 Euros vis the UKash prepayment system within the deadline, otherwise the computer will be firmly locked forever and also shall be investigated for legal responsibility.
That is a tricky scam designed by cyber criminals who created the French UKash ransomware. With the help of some advanced techniques, the virus can infected the targeted computer in French, hacking in the system with low defense and taking over the control of the whole system. That is why the French UKash virus can totally blocked the computer system, ruthlessly depriving user’s access to their own computer. Once succeeded, the hateful virus would be able to make a fool of the ignorant victims. The terrible encounter not only caused the users lost the money, but also kept them suffering the torment of the lock-up. It is highly recommended to stop being tortured and remove the French UKash virus immediately.
