New Android malware is holding phones to ransom

Researchers have uncovered new Android based malware that holds smartphones for ransom, claiming that you must pay $300 or face completely false criminal charges for viewing illegal porn. In order to really freak people out, Android-Trojan.Koler.A uses Geo location data to tailor warnings to whichever country the user is based in.

Infected phones in the US will see an FBI warning while people in Romania, the UK or other countries will see slightly different warnings. If your phone gets infected, it’s essentially rendered useless as it blocks access to the home screen, making it impossible to use other apps on the phone.

hone functions will only be restored once an infected user pays a $300 fine through an untraceable payment method such as Paysafecard or uKash. This discovery has come a year and a half after Sysmantec found that Ransomeware rakes in $5 million per year.
