Ransomware / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The FBI MoneyPak Ransomware, also known as Reveton Ransomware, is a type of ransomware malware. It starts by purporting to be from a national police agency (like the American Federal Bureau of Investigation) and that they have locked the computer or smart phone due to "illegal activities" and demands a ransom payment via GreenDot MoneyPak cards in order to release the device.[1][self-published source?][2]
