Hackers invent new ways of scaring PC users into wasting their funds in favor of the crooks. However, this time they didn't really invent anything new. They chose the same method they've known for ages by actually inventing and spreading another ransomware program with the similar GUI.

Nevertheless, the purpose of hackers is to scare users a lot, this is why they use the good name of Australian Federal Police (AFP) for such purposes. The warning allegedly from AFP comes with the scary content, and here is the extract of how it actually presents itself:
