Ukash Politie virus

Ukash Politie Virus is a comeputer ransomware application that locks the user out of his computer in order to force him into pay the release fee. This computer infection uses symbols of real law enforcement authorities which makes it look even more believable. Thus, a lot of users think that their computers get locked by a real representative of the Dutch police office. Ukash Politie Virus targets users who live in the Netherlands or have Dutch IP addresses. It checks the addresses upon the installation and then changes its interface into the Dutch one.

As you can understand, there are more than one version of this ransomware, the most notorious one is called FBI Moneypak, but there are many different variants for different countries including Oficina Virtual de Denuncias virus (Spain), Ministere de L'interieur Virus (France), Polizia di Stato Virus (Italy) and many others. One more thing, even though Ukash Politie Virus displays the message in Dutch, it can also infect the users in Belgium and anywhere else where the language is used on a daily basis. So no matter where you are, if you get infected with Ukash Politie Virus, you will inevitably see this message on your screen:

Uw computer is vergrendeld.
Illegaal gedownloade muziek stukken (“door piraterij verkregen”) zijn gelegen op de computer. Met het downloaden de liedjes zijn gekopieerd, zodat ka nook een strafbaar feit onder § 106 van de Auteurswet.

Om uw computer te ontgrendelen, bent u aansprakelijk tot het betalen van €100. De boete moet worden betaald voor 24 uur sinds het vergrendelen van de computer.

The message explains that your computer is locked because illegally downloaded music files have been found on your hard drive. Naturally, that is a criminal act and you might face various charges, but Ukash Politie Virus offers you a solution by saying that your computer can be unlocked if you pay a 100 euro fine. It then tells you of a few ways that can be used to transfer the money, but don't fall into this trap!
