Fedpol BundesKriminalPolizei Virus (also known as KOBIK 150 scam) is a ransomware attack that targets users in Switzerland or any PC that is registered and linked to a Switzerland IP address. Very similar to CIBS Pol Virus, the virus blocks the PC from being able to be used and displays a warning message complete with official law enforcement agencies logos and seals to make it look real.

The message states that 150 Euro must be paid immediately or there will be additional fines to pay and there is even a possibility of having to serve jail time for breaking these laws.
