Malex Trojan is a parasite showing various ransom messages. At the moment it is used for ransomwares that displays a fake notification imitating a message from FBI. The message blames you for breaking some Copyright and Related Rights Law by viewing or distributing pornographic content.

To unlock your system, Malex Trojan asks you to pay a fine of $200 through Moneypak payment system. The message also states that if you don’t do that within 72 hours the possibility to pay this fine will expire and a criminal case will be inflated against you. According to Malex this can cause you a fine up to $100,000 or deprivation of liberty for four to twelve years.
