In the latest version of this virus, cybercrooks cleverly try to convince the user that activities which violate the law have been detected on his computer.
To mimic a realistic look, the United States Cyber Authority logo as well as basic information about the user’s location (IP, Location, IPS) are shown in the upper left corner. A black and white image resembling a web camera is shown in the upper right corner. This creates a feeling that the user is being watched by authorities right now via an integrated web camera.
