Palestinian Civil Police Force Virus

What is Palestinian Civil Police Force?

The Palestinian Civil Police Force message blocks users' computer screens and demands payment of a fine for alleged law violations. This is not a legitimate message, it is a ransomware virus created by cyber criminals to extort money from unsuspecting Palestinian PC users.

This fake message makes bogus claims that the computer was blocked due to the user watching pornography or using pirated music and video files.

Note that paying the $100 (100 Euro or 500 NIS) fine is equivalent to sending your money to cyber criminals responsible for creating this scam. This particular ransomware virus originates from a family called Urausy and predominantly targets Palestinian PC users.

Computer users should be aware that no international authorities (including the Palestinian Civil Police Force) or organizations use computer screen-blocking messages to collect fines for any law violations. Ransomware viruses from the Urausy family are localized so that PC users from different countries observe these fake messages as if sent by local authorities.

For example, computer users from Canada receive this message as if sent by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and PC users from Australia, as if sent by the Australian Federal Police. If you see this message on your computer, you are dealing with a ransomware virus. Do not pay any fines - it is a scam.

The Palestinian Civil Police Force ransomware virus infiltrates Internet users' operating systems using exploit kits, which inject malicious code via any security vulnerabilities detected.

Commonly this malware is proliferated using drive-by downloads, malicious websites, and infected email messages. If you see this message, do not trust it. Use the removal guide provided to eliminate the Palestinian Civil Police Force cashU scam from your computer.
