Malware: Pay a $300 fine or your Android phone will be locked

Recently a new malware has come into the picture which says "Pay a $300 fine or your Android phone will be locked" and it do what it says. It will lock your phone until you pay the amount. The malware downloaded automatically without any knowledge and it says you have accused of being seen and store porn.
As per the research the malware only downloaded if you visit the porn site from your Android phone, still, it's not clear which sites are infected with this malware

It will show the above screen with a picture of Obama which makes you feel it's real, The malware has already claimed at least 68 victims in the past six hours in below listed countries:


40 in the United Arab Emirates
12 in the UK, six in Germany
5 in the US
Others in Italy and Poland

In some cases, a phone can be restored only when you pay a so-called “fine” of about $300, using payment services such as Paysafecard or uKash that are incredibly difficult to trace. Thankfully, there is no evidence that the malware encrypts any files on a phone’s storage.

Using the logo of the FBI and President Barack Obama, Android-Trojan.Koler.A uses a location function to tailor the warnings to whatever country that you reside in. The malware prevents users from accessing the home screen of their phones, making it impossible to use most other apps installed on the phone.

So Beware!!
