Hey, please help!!! Now I’m suffering from a malware called Mandiant USA Cyber Security Warning Scam on my iPad and the virus (or whatever it is called) has pretty much “locked up” Safari browser and I cannot access the Internet at all. I was downloading video and then I responded prompts from what I thought was an update needed for my settings. That’s when the “virus” was uploaded and now the Mandiant site is telling me I violated copyright laws and must pay a $500 fine in order to have my iPad freed up to work properly, or it will erase my Apple ID and all stuff on my device. And it also said I would be subject to possible imprisonment under some illegal acts. I was really scared, but when I searched some information about it and knew that this is extortion, but I don’t know what can be done as I have thousands of family pictures and videos. I am afraid the virus will erase my entire pictures.
Description of Mandiant USA Cyber Security Warning Scam on iPhone or iPad
Mandiant USA Cyber Security Warning Scam now can target more and more Apple device like iPhone, iPad and iPod. Once your device gets this malware, it will display the scaring message titled with Mandiant USA Cyber Security to make victims believe that it’s from real cyber security of U.S.A.. Actually this notification is not with Mandiant USA Cyber Security or FBI police. This ransomware is created and distributed by those greedy cyber criminals to attack from windows computer, android device to Apple product. So now many iOS devices are attacked by this infection. Usually this cyber security virus can block the Internet access and block Safari on iPhone/ iPad. Mandiant USA Cyber Security Warning disguises the authentic government department Mandiant USA Cyber Security to send notice message saying your device is blocked up for safety reasons and accusing you of viewing/storage and/or dissemination of banned pornography like child pornography, zoophilia and rape etc. and you are suspected of violation of Copyright and related laws. And meanwhile it notices you that if you want to unlock your browser, you need to pay fine of $500 through Paypal or Moneypak within 24 hours. And if you cannot send money within 24 hours, it will lock up your Apple ID and erase all stuff on your iPhone/iPad, even you will be prosecuted in a lawsuit or taken into jail and on so. Many victims will scare and worry and then rush to send money as it requires, which is what this Mandiant USA Cyber Security ransomware hopes. Its final goal is to scam and collect more money from innocent iPhone/iPad users. Don’t be such a fool to give money; what you should do is to eliminate this virus as soon as possible.

Thanks!

I can’t tell if this Search.oursafesearch.com is a good page or not, but I just can’t change it not to be my browser homepage from settings. I tried to use my security tool to scan it if it belongs to a computer virus, but the result is negative. Now I have no clue on how to deal with this thing. Is it a virus? Why can’t my anti-virus program do anything to it? What should I do?

From the look of it, many people can be cheated to judge it as a normal page as we can only find a search box and some other options like scan PC, test Internet speed and so on. All of those things are forged by cyber hackers and the only purpose of them is to try to mislead people to think that it is safe for them to save this page on their computers. However, once people are lured to keep this page on their machines, their systems can suffer from many problems and troubles, and if this hijacker cannot be removed in time, the situation can be worse and worse.

I have a Department of Justice notice popped up on my iPhone saying it was accusing me of watching child pornography and it said I violated copyright and related rights law so I need to pay $500 fine. It crashed my Safari app and said it would lock up my iPhone if the fine is not paid within 48 hours. Every time I closed it, it would immediately pop up again. It scared me and now I don’t know if I’m actually being charged or it is a scam. It said my location, IP address and everything, which all looks real. I have restarted my iPhone a hundred times but the pop up was still there. And every time I attempt to access Safari on my iPhone after restarting phone, I still see the pop up from someone pretending to be the Department of Justice saying that I am subject to a fine and it won’t go away. Help!
