Although there are many versions of ransomware applications, localized for various countries, the United States of America probably remains one of the biggest markets for cyber criminals. It is once again proved by Computer crime & intellectual property section (ccips) Virus which is a new ransomware infection intended for the American market. It denies desktop access and pretends to be displaying a notification sent by the FBI, and unless you remove Computer crime & intellectual property section (ccips) Virus from your system, the notification will remain there, successfully blocking your desktop.
This infection gives away a strong impression, because once your computer gets compromised, it displays a huge notification that prevents you from accessing your files:
The computer is locked by Internet Service Provider
Work on your computer has been suspended in the grounds of viewing illegal content
You are charged with the following offences
Article – 184. Pornography involving children (under 18 years)
To unlock the computer, and avoid other legal consequences, you are requested to pay a fine of $300.
The message displayed by Computer crime & intellectual property section (ccips) Virus is huge. It lists a number of crimes you have supposedly committed. In that aspect the program does not differ much from Police Cybercrime Virus, Svenska Polisen Virus and other ransomware applications part of the Revoyem Trojan network. All of them belong to the Ukash Virus family, and they pretend to be legal representatives of law enforcement authorities in their respective countries. However, Computer crime & intellectual property section (ccips) Virus and other similar programs are nothing, but dangerous infections that target your money.
Judging from the notification on your screen, this ransomware program expects you to transfer 300 USD via MoneyPak or PaySafeCard alternative payment systems. The problem is that a lot of users do end up spending their money, because they think they have really violated the laws. They could have gotten such an impression during the infection process, when Computer crime & intellectual property section (ccips) Virus gets downloaded via child pornography webpage. Users are redirected to the said page by force, and it has nothing to do with your original browsing habits.
It is important to note that Computer crime & intellectual property section (ccips) Virus will say it will unlock your computer once you transfer the “fine”. However, that will never happen, because the infection has no intention of leaving your PC. It merely wants to steal as much money as possible.
