‘Politiets Sikkerhetstjeneste’ Ransomware

A good case to point to for demonstrating the thoroughness with which cybercriminals search for their potential victims, the 'Politiets Sikkerhetstjeneste' Ransomware is a fake Police Trojan that shows warning messages designed explicitly for Norway – albeit with generic warning messages translated directly from previous fake Police Trojans of the same family. Aside from its choice of Norse victims to extort for ransom money, the 'Politiets Sikkerhetstjeneste' Ransomware continues in line with the traditional attacks of its family, including accusing your PC of being used for criminal mischief and blocking your computer to force you to pay its fee. Nonetheless, the 'Politiets Sikkerhetstjeneste' Ransomware doesn't have the authority of the Norse police to lock your computer and should not be paid in lieu of the solution SpywareRemove.com malware experts would suggest: disabling and then removing the 'Politiets Sikkerhetstjeneste' Ransomware with a decent anti-malware product.

The 'Politiets Sikkerhetstjeneste' Ransomware: the Technological Age's New Raider

While Norway's history is rich with contact with various European conflicts, including the notorious viking raiders, the 'Politiets Sikkerhetstjeneste' Ransomware is a new spin on that old theme, as a plunderer that's disguised as an online law enforcement utility.
