Despite the arrest of the cyber-criminals allegedly responsible for the ?Police
Virus? ransomware attacks, the infamous piece of malware has continued to infect
thousands of computers around the world, according to data gathered by PandaLabs
(http://pandalabs.
pandasecurity.
com/), the anti-malware laboratory of Panda
Security (http://www.
pandasecurity.
com/uk), from December 2012 to February 2013.
The arrest of the cyber-gang leader in Dubai, in an international operation led by
the Technological Investigation Brigade of Spain?s National Police force and
coordinated by Europol and Interpol, has not put an end to the malware epidemic.
?This ransomware was netting its creators profits in excess of ?1 million per
year,? explained Luis Corrons, technical director of PandaLabs.
?However, the
number of infections keeps growing, which leads us to think that we are facing an
unspecified number of groups launching the same kind of attacks.
