The fake warning supposedly coming from Mandiant U.S.A. Cyber Security is a ransomware virus infection of Urausy family. This is a special type of malware that locks the desktop of targeted computer completely and doesn’t let user do anything with the blocked PC. Any attempts of users to restart the computer turn out to be unsuccessful. The locked status remains irrespective of the number of reboot attempts.

The only goal of this ransomware virus infection is to scare user with a lot of fictitious information contained in the bogus FBI warning. In this fake Mandiant U.S.A. Cyber Security alert users are accused of committing various crimes online through the computer that became the target of this scam. Here is the list of crimes this fake FBI warning message reports as ones supposedly committed by user:

Hackers who developed the virus can’t bear until scared users fulfill their fraudulent offers. The locker prompts users to pay the fake fine within 48 hours in the amount of $300.
