IOS stupefied: Windows also appeared the same fraud software!
Neowin, a foreign media, reported that recently some users reported that they had encountered a "lock screen fraud" from the Windows system.
after the survey, it is found that this kind of fraud software generally encrypts user files before promoting its "payment solution" on the lock screen interface. For example, the following picture:
in the picture, the fraudster falsely claims that the user's Windows authorization has expired and then disables the victim's permission to continue to use the computer.
Segura from Malwarebytes labs said: "this prompt is not the kind of pop-up notification that has appeared before, so even if you restart the computer or Taskkill, you can't solve it."
Security researcher @ TheWack0lina recently shared a sample of similar fraud software. When the sample was launched, all the interfaces were the same as the original Windows interface, but after the progress was completed, it popped up an error indicating that the user's Windows authorization had expired.
there are also more realistic software that also marks the user's current key and computer name.
At present, this fraud method can only be solved by reinstalling the system, so when we download the software, we must see the source clearly and develop good usage habits.
