Jesus Christ! My Samsung S4 has been suffering from this DOJ virus for two days? I have to commit, I made a mistake, the reason which caused my phone to get this virus is because I read a “bad” news from my phone at night before I went to sleep, well, actually not a “bad” new as a huge new. So far, I believe half of people around the world already knew the new. That’s the nude picture and video got leaked out from icloud few days ago, they are all celebrities, can you image that, it’s covering singer, actress, model, female athlete, and you will be even surprised when you heard those names, Jenifer Lawrence, Rihanna, Avril, Hope Solo, Kate Upton etc, just name it, the name of the list is over 100. However, I guess most guys like me, after read this new will start searching more information through the internet, and maybe that’s because I try to download some pictures from some unknown website, boom! “The Department of Justice” came out on my phone’s screen. Oh, come on, the Adult sites could still put Jenifer Lawrence’s on the site even she claimed to sue the sites, however, they stroked back by saying only the owner with these pictures could let them remove the pictures according to law, apparently, Jenifer is not the one who press shutter. And now, I just downloaded some pictures that got me the warning form DOJ? I don’t think so, this is probably a scam. Anyway, I already tried every mean to work it out, but nothing changes, my phone is completely locked, so please, could someone who is the expert in this filed help me out from this DOJ virus thing, otherwise my phone is totally useless, I just bought it a week ago. Please help!

Brief Introduction to DOJ Virus on Phone

DOJ Virus is just a scam designed for deceiving money from PC and Mac users, and now it’s working up to smartphone already, maybe the scale and speed of DOJ virus can’t match with FBI and Ukash virus right now, however, there already have some phone users suffered from it. It’s only matter of time for more people have their phone infected by DOJ virus if they don’t pay enough attention. Okay about 2 minutes ago i was on ebay on my Samsung galaxy tablet and something popped up saying I must pay 200$ or i will be sent to court. I found out it is a scam what should i do to unlock my tablet? My android phone is locked by cyber police scam demanding 200 dollars how do I regane my phone? Phones which get infected by this virus will get a special warning message, something like, “Your phone has been blocked. The work of your computer has been suspended on the grounds of the violation of the law of the United States of America…” After that, it will list which articles you broke, such as “Article 274-copy right”, and it will threaten you with “A fine or imprisonment for the term of up to 4 years. (The use or sharing of copyrighted files-movies, software)” to let you pay some money and avoid from being imprisoned. Anyway, like I said in many other article, this is a scam, please don’t be fooled by that. Some people already have similar experience with other kind of scam like FBI virus and Ukash virus, so their first respond is “ another scam, there’s no way I will pay for the money”.

I have this lock screen on my phone that says ICE Cyber Crime Center and wants me to pay $500 to unlock my phone. I discovered it is a scam and have been trying to open my phone (HTX One X)in safe mode, but can’t. What should I do? I got a warning from ICE and I was accused by the law. It said that I have done some illegal on my phone and now it locks my phone from use. Is this police warning real or fake? Do I need to worry about that as I don’t know what to do now? I use my computer to go online and do some research about it. Many people talk this stuff as a virus, so, how can I get rid of it from my phone? Please help.

Brief Introduction to This Virus

ICE virus has been created by cyber hackers who want to achieve evil goals from innocent people. At first, this ransomware virus targets on computers with Windows operating systems.

I picked up this FBI Department of Defense virus on my Android phone when I was downloading a flash player from a web page. Immediately, my phone was blocked up and it stopped me from doing anything there. I always thought that mobile devices are much safer than computers to do sorts of actions online, such as surfing the net, making e-payment and watching videos etc. This FBI alert claims that it is from the law enforcement agency and demands me to pay an amount of fine to unlock device, or I will be punished extremely harshly. I’m very scared about getting this FBI warning alert on Android device, but I doubt whether it is a real notification from the Government or not. What sorts of damages can this FBI alert malware bring to my Android smartphone? How can I bypass this FBI warning page and unlock my Android? Any Android malware removal instruction will do me a great favor.

Currently, ICSPA Virus has blocked my android phone and tablet! I got a police warning from International Cyber Security Protection Alliance on my smart phone when i was watching videos. First, I don’t know if it is real or fake and I’m really scared as it is telling you watch child porn and have to pay the fine 300$ to unlock the mobile devices. I think police is on the way to my home. I don’t want to go to the jail. I can’t do anything on my phone now because when I turn on my phone, this warning appears. It explains that I can pay amount of fine to avoid the further punishment and unlock my phone. Also I turned on my tablet yesterday and said that i had to pay $100 AUD. I was shocked when i saw it and a little scared. The first thing i did was turn my tablet off but a while later i hopped back on to see if virus or what and it was gone. I also deleted search history, but it is still there. How do I remove the ICSPA virus scam from my Samsung tablet? I have it in Safe mode and found the application but it is grayed out so I can’t uninstall. If I pay, can I be safe from the police or government? My girlfriend’s phone was blocked and is not able to be used in any kind of way. I looked up the hacker on a laptop and it sure is a scam from a cyber police and if i was to pay $500 to them through pay pal i can use my phone again. Will u please help me fix this issue?

ICSPA Virus Locked Out of Android Phone or Tablet – What to DO?

International Cyber Security Protection Alliance virus (we will take ICSPA virus as abbreviation) is an authority that monitors online activities and investigates the cyber crimes. When you receive a warning from this organization on your tablet or your smart phone, it doesn’t mean you have violated the law by done something wrong on the Internet. It has been reported as a computer virus which just abuses the name of this organization to hoax computer users for a long time since 2013. With the technology development, mobile device has become a part of people’s life and there are several mobile operating systems have been created. Smart phone or tablet is able to handle some basic works just like computer does, so many people prefer to use mobile devices (smart phone or tablet) for some work and entertainment instead.

Hey, my phone was locked completely! How can I do now? Please help. Yesterday I downloaded some apps into my android phone, but I felt I got something unclear that flashed and disappeared quickly during the process of installing, and I didn’t see it at all. As a result, after a while when finishing downloading, a warning security from Royal Canadian Mounted Police turned up and said my phone was locked due to violating the law in Canada and required me to pay a fine of CAD $100 via Ukash or PaySafeCard to unlock my phone. I guess it is a scam and look it up online. It’s really a scam virus but I don’t know how to handle it at all. How can I remove this virus?

A Description of Royal Canadian Mounted Police Virus on Android Phone

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Virus is also known as RCMP Ukash virus, which is the upgrade version of Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) Ukash virus.Like other ransomware FBI virus, AFP virus, PCEU virus, it is created by cyber criminals and has been circulated online for a long time. Recently, cyber criminals have upgraded RCMP Ukash virus to have a capability to target on android phone and aim at gaining more and more fake fine from the phone markets. Therefore, more and more phone users now get trouble with this virus and are cheated out of much money. This RCMP Ukash virus becomes a big threat to Android phones since cyber criminals have developed phone markets and strengthen invasion ability of this virus scam. It performs same malicious actions on phones as it does on computers and Mac machines. While being downloaded on phone, it will display a large warning window which occupies the whole screen of your phone to claim that your device has been blocked due to some law-breaking activities, and also lists what activities are involved with law violation in Canada. For example, you are accused of the film shooting, registration or transfer of documents with pornographic content involving minors, child pornography, sodomy and violence against children violate National Law, spreading spam, illegally using or distributing copyrighted content and so on. Generally, more specific articles will be listed on the blocking page to specify your violations. And it completely locks your phone and doesn’t allow you to do anything on your phone. Then in order to get your phone unlocked, it claims that you have to pay for a fine of CAD $100 or more via Ukash or PaySafeCard within a limited time. Otherwise, you will bear legal liability even face the possibility of being put into jail. You may be freaked out by this message because it has a very solemn interface that looks like it really comes from police office. This virus just aims at scaring you by blocking infected phone and displaying fake message in order to persuade you into paying the fine. Even if you pay for the fine, your phone is still locked. What you should do first is to figure out a way to remove it as soon as possible, otherwise your phone will become useless forever.

Can the Homeland Security Virus scam locked my android phone/tablet and hack my banking, credit cards, personal online profiles??? Hi there, I have received FBI security warning on phone saying I need to pay $100 as fine to unlock my android phone because I watched porn which is against law somehow. I did not watch it and I don’t know how to use my phone as it’s been blocked and I can’t access it. It also says I only have 48 hrs until I will be investigated and further crime investigation will be carried out. Please help! I need your help to save my phone and what should I do?

A Description of U.S. Department of Homeland Security Virus on Android Phone/Tablet

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Virus (also known as United States Homeland Security National Cyber Security Division Virus) aggressively attacks android phone and Mac OS X currently. It also has a very solemn interface that looks like it really comes from police office. And thus the content of this message on the locking screen will really make you freak out. When it is installed on your android phone or tablet, it will specifically insert its malicious codes and files to mess up default system configuration of the phone/tablet. Then it will set itself as a part of the startup process of your phone setting and launch the scary block screen every time you turn on your phone or tablet. It will display a large warning window which occupies the whole screen of your phone/tablet to claim that your device has been blocked due to some law-breaking activities, and also tell you in detail that your activities are involved with the following situation: Visiting websites containing pornography, viewing pornographic content, spreading spam, illegally using or distributing copyrighted content and so on. Generally, more specific articles will be listed on the blocking page to specify your violations. And it completely locks your phone and doesn’t allow you to do anything on your phone/tablet. Then in order to get your phone/tablet unlocked, it claims that you have to pay for the fine via moneypak of $300 or $100 iTunes gift card or more within a limited time. Otherwise, you will bear legal liability even face the possibility of being put into jail. The police reported that no law enforcement agency including Homeland Security, FBI collected fines as a punishment in this way. Therefore, don’t be afraid of the charge that it accuses you. Even though you really watch porn video or read porn materials on porn websites, the real police won’t show up warning message to alert you and demand you pay for fines. If you really do something illegal or bad to violate the related law, the police will show up at your house and take you out to the police office. This is just a virus using scare tactic by blocking infected phone and displaying fake message in order to persuade you into paying the fine. You should never do that because paying the fine won’t help to get your phone/tablet unlocked. Instead, you must figure out a way to remove this Homeland Security Virus immediately to save your phone completely, otherwise this virus will prevent you from accessing your phone or tablet forever.

Please help me to get rid of this virus! This morning my smartphone is locked by Centre for Critical Infrastructure Protection virus that asks me to pay 100 New Zealand dollars through Ukash within 24 hours. Otherwise, my phone will be locked forever and I will be arrested and put into the jail. I don’t do anything wrong. How would that happen? How can I unlock my phone from CCIP scam virus? Now I cannot do anything on my phone. Any help will be appreciated here. 

Description of CCIP Virus Scam on Android Phone

Centre for Critical Infrastructure Protection virus (also called New Zealand E-Crime Lab Virus or CCIP Virus) also has been spreading for a long time from network and many people heavily suffer from it and losing money. It attacks users mostly from the areas of New Zealand. Currently, it not only target computer but also android phone and Mac OS X. So now more and more phone users are troubled with it and don’t know how to get rid of it. CCIP virus is distributed on the Internet and can get itself installed in your mobile device without your knowledge. Once the infection is done, it will set itself as a part of the startup process of your phone setting and launch the scary block screen every time you turn on your phone. It will display a large alert window which occupies the whole screen of your phone to claim that your device has been blocked due to some law-breaking activities, and also tell you in detail that your activities are involved with the following situation: Visiting websites containing pornography, viewing pornographic content, spreading spam, illegally using or distributing copyrighted content and so on. Generally, more specific articles will be listed on the blocking page to specify your violations. And it completely locks your phone and doesn’t allow you to do anything on your phone. Then in order to get your phone unlocked, it claims that you have to send the fine through Ukash of NZD $100 or more within a limited time. If you pay the fine in time, your phone will be released within 24 or 72 hours. But If time has expired and you haven’t been able to enter the payment as required, criminals cases will be started automatically against you later on which might put you into more illegal troubles. Actually this virus has nothing to do with Centre for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CCIP) or New Zealand E-Crime Lab. This is just a virus using scare tactic by blocking infected phone and displaying fake message in order to persuade you into paying the fine. You should never do that because paying the fine won’t help to get your phone unlocked. The only right thing that has to be done is to remove Centre for Critical Infrastructure Protection virus immediately.

I’m very upset about what happen to my cell phone this morning. My phone was infected by GVU virus after I download an unknown APP which is about bibliography free download, to be honest, I’m a postgraduate, my summer vocation just ended, I’m on my way back to school on the train, during this time I got text message by my tutor who urged me to finish my paper as soon as possible. So, I figure out a way, since the train has free WIFI, I thought I might use my phone to search some thesis. Normally, I will do that in school library, because it could provide you huge information which are all free, but outside that zoom, most website will charge for the information, that’s why I download an unknown APP from my phone, which guarantee not only could offer what you need, but so Non-profit. BANG, GVU on the phone, and what’s worse and funny, all the things showed on my phone screen, described as German language, I could only tell it’s involved about piracy, but I was panic at the first place, I got this FBI virus before, so I know this is scam, I just don’t believe they can use virus to cheat your money in so many ways and so quick you can’t even image, what a crazy world!

Brief Description about GVU Virus On Phone:

GVU Virus is a newly phone virus which has been spread recently, if your phone infected by this virus, your phone screen will show few paragraphs of words in German, it’s about Society for the Prosecution Association of Copyright Infringement to hoax computer users, mostly the novices, if you are familiar with FBI virus, you’ll not be surprised about GVU, same trick designed to blackmail people by using fake information and the name of other fake department. GVU virus will threat you to pay 50 EUR through recommended payment scheme, then it will randomly give you a so-called unlock code which will not help at all. Therefore your screen is still blocked up even if you have paid for the fine.
