Are you in trouble?
The answer is yes and no.
“No” because the government is not behind this and concerning them, you have nothing to be afraid off.
“Yes” because your computer is infected with a malicious malware that makes your computer inaccessible.
Recently we see more and more Computers infected with Reveton. Reveton is described as drive-by malware because unlike many viruses—which activate when users open a file or attachment—this one can install itself when users simply click on a compromised website. Once infected, the victim’s computer immediately locks and the monitor displays a screen stating there has been a violation of federal law.
The bogus message goes on to say that the user’s Internet address was identified by the FBI or the Department of Justice’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section as having been associated with illegal online activities such as child pornography. To unlock their machines, users are required to pay a fine using a prepaid money card service.To add more to the scam they are using your video camera to show that you are “filmed” in progress
Believe it or not that is an actual picture of me and Yes I did grow a beard. (:
“Some people have actually paid the so-called fine,”
The FBI suggests the following if you become a victim of the Reveton virus:
Do not pay any money or provide any personal information.
Be aware that even if you are able to unfreeze your computer on your own, the malware may still operate in the background. Certain types of malware have been known to capture personal information such as user names, passwords, and credit card numbers through embedded keystroke logging programs.
File a complaint and look for updates on Reveton virus on the FBI website.
