That FBI ransomware is crazy! It's been around for ages! About 15 years ago when I was 13-14 years old I got this on my dad's laptop despite using it mostly for homework or playing games. Since I didn't know anything about ransomware at the time and the FBI logo and wording looked so believable, I kinda panicked...and when I saw the video recording me, it made me panic more! Now is a totally different story but at the time I was pretty shook!
And this is why everyone needs to know about Safe Mode, Recovery and Fastboot on Android systems. Life saver for the tech illiterate who download random apps.
Yeah, basically all these ransowares could be easily disabled in safe mode, or better still, if you have root and unencrypted storage you could uninstall them with custom recovery
It’s true because most of the third party apps are literally a malware and it gets ur privacy and now apple gets less money and less privacy protection
16:46 apps with admin can make themselves uninstallable, which is useful for like an antivirus but all you have to do is deactivate the admin privileges
i remember google family link was device admin and when you tried disabling the admin priviledge it would re-enable and when you tried uninstalling it would stay deleted for a few secods and reinstall
If apps keep jumpscaring you stopping you from doing anything, boot your phone in safe mode to uninstall them. On samsung, access the shutdown menu by long pressing the power key and hold the power off icon on the screen to boot in safe mode which will disable all apps allowing you to uninstall the ransomware
@@Varxiii it looked so legit until they asked for bitcoin 😭😭 like they couldve added a seperate app that "deletes" the fbi thing but u need to pay bitcoin like that would have probably worked
@@SW73thegrayWindowsor activating safe mode by activing the power button. if you activate safe mode all apps are disabled making half of these viruses.. useless
11:46, these characters (hanzis) show " 千变语音秀" which is most likely translated to "Thousand Transformations Voice Show" in English in this context, explaining the simple little microphone icon. These are some of the hanzis explained in the word 千 (qiān) - thousand 变 (biàn) - change or transform 语 (yǔ) - language 音 (yīn) - sound 秀 (xiù) - show or display And these all show something that represents vocal performances [another reason there is a microphone icon! :)] At 12:09 , the text is also in Chinese format (obviously) .. This is a big translation so let me explain some key details. At the start it says in Chinese characters "我的手机出了什么问题? " which this means, "what's wrong with my phone?" Here's a small break down of the characters (hanzis) 我的 (wǒ de) - my我 (wǒ) - I/me的 (de) - possessive particle indicating ownership 手机 (shǒujī) - phone/mobile phone手 (shǒu) - hand机 (jī) - machine/device 出了 (chū le) - has/have occurred出 (chū) - go out/exit/occur了 (le) - particle indicating completed action or change of state 什么 (shénme) - what什 (shén) - what么 (me) - interrogative particle问题 (wèntí) - problem/question 问 (wèn) - ask题 (tí) - topic/subject/issue Now for the rest of it, it is telling you all of what has been hacked, it lists - 照片 (zhàopiàn) - photos 文档 (wéndàng) - documents音频 (yīnpín) - audio 视频文件 (shìpín wénjiàn) - video files (And more) It said all these things were encrypted and that they were saved by the sender. And then at the end it says "Even if God himself were to come, these documents cannot be recovered." (就算老天爷来了也不能恢 提这些文档.) Now the next question that starts at the top says ""Is there a way to recover these documents?""( 有没有恢复这些文档的方法? ) . Then it goes on to say, "Of course, there is a recoverable method. Only through our decryption service can they be recovered" , it promises. The weird thing about it is the word choices that gave me goosebumps.. Somewhere it says "Please rest assured, I would never deceive you" .( 我以人 各担保,能够提供安全有效的恢复服务。) Blah blah talking about payment and even says after three days if not paid, the pay with double "It's best to make the payment within 3 days, otherwise the cost will double after three days." - (最好3天之内付款费用,过了三天费用就会翻倍。) And if you don't pay at the right time of a week, all documents will never be recoverable (creepy, right?) At the end it reads "过了,忘了告诉你,对半年以上没钱付款的穷人,会有活动免费快" meaning, "By the way, I forgot to mention that for poor people who haven't had money to pay for over six months, there will be free recovery activities." Which.. Is nice? Hopefully this summary is the best, it's a lot of reading (please correct me, I myself am Asian, but not Chinese, I am Malaysian, and know a bit of Tagalog + Malay ! :) so please correct me if anything is wrong, I did extra research to be respectful and make sure everything is written clearly) Note: A Lycorisradiata (Lycoris radiata) is the scientific name for a spider lily , red lily, or hurricane lily! The flower is native to East Asia, including China, Korea, and Japan.. Now there isn't a clear reason why the virus is named that A reason could be that the flower is often associated with death.. I don't really know any other reasons (just liked to point this out)
once my browser got hijacked by indian government and it said that your device is blocked for voilating law and some yap about viewing something (same like the last virus in the video) and it asked for 30k inr and also started to play an text to speech output, i got a mini heart attack at first even though i knew no government asks for oney like this,either the person is booked or a F.I.R is filed, the good thing was in panic i pressed escape key which made the full screen get minimize (to show that its real with the real domain), then i just simply cleared cache, cookies and data
Quick tip, hold the power button until the power menu appears. Hold power off (or restart, i cant remember). It boots safe mode and it disables any third party apps and permissions.
7:20 hold power button and volume down button and when the screen goes black continue holding the power button but let go of volume down button and start holding volume up button until recovery ui appears and then you can reset it
I got that FBI virus before on my cellphone trying to install Adobe flash player 10. Actually thought I did something wrong or illegal. Then I heard sirens and thought "Damn those Bitches are quick" and took off running and hid somewhere. Want to say that the phone was a LG Marquee at the time.
The fact that there is apps like this makes me scared for my dad because he always gives his phone to my little sister who can't stop downloading games and give all the permissions 😭😭
@@Skuil.mp3Tell that to my 7 year old cousin who somehow manages to download *and install* a bunch of apk files by himself. All it takes is a google search, some "download now" buttons, allow this & that and bam. Thankfully he only managed to install clean modded games apks.
@@yinslayergamingyt5937 yeah if you save stupid things on your gallery and then if it sent to your gf or your friends that might be the end of you😂 and also if you dont care about what theyre going to do about it just so you remember, you cant access your phone.
No matter what, you can always reset the phone. Shut down, open recovery, factory reset. Boom. EDIT: OMG! 1000 likes? 😱 That rarely happens! Thank you so much! 😆
@@mishalmxI didn't think about that, but the damage is already done. Removing the app won't bring back your personal files. So it doesn't really make a huge difference. Unless you have a lot of apps.
@Aqua_flow mine just spammed and hacked into chrome and wouldn't leave me alone and tried to make me pay foe a virus remover it costed like 200 dollars for a month 💀
Ikr, when I was a kid I somehow got adware(I think that's the word for it) on my phone, it kept showing so many innapropiate notifications and pop up ads lol but I just factory reset my phone and it was gone
I'm pretty sure you couldn't uninstall the FBI malware cuz its a device administrator. Once I had put an app on my phone as admin and couldn't uninstall it, I thought I had a virus or smth but I realized I just had to take away admin permission lol. Also nice video! Keep up the good work!!
12:06 to translate, its Chinese. Basically its the same message as your last video when you dealt with wannacry on windows. I've used a separate phone to use Google Translate, using their camera feature to get the translation for that message.
13:40 is translated:what is happening to my phone? Your most important files had been kept with me. Photos,videos,files,have already been hacked from me
1:21 there is literally something named google photos which saves pictures to cloud also if you have unlocked bootloader or custom recovery you can get everything back easily
Not even that lol, since the payload activated without internet, I am 99% sure the password is just stored in plaintext in the root folder of the phone. Maybe not even that lmao, since its literally just an overlay, i think restarting and quickly uninstalling it is faster
Hey Crypto, I just wanted to tell you that the double locker ransomeware (Adobe Flash Player) it has access to your eye accessibility, which means it has your camera permission.
@helloworld-my2rv not hating or anything at all, hello world is a common phrase and even used as print("hello world!") pretty much when you first learn basic coding. I assume he used it because its a pretty common phrase though lol
11:07 The name of the virus thing is 'King of Glory preview version' and 11:46 translates to 'Thousands of Voice Shows' I think (translated from chinese)
17:05 its because it has admin privileges i have seen this in my own samsung phone if you disable the admin privileges then you will be able to uninstall it
The FBI virus was actually really scary for me, I would have not sleeped tonight if I were to accidentally download an app on my phone like that... I really hope I'd see more of this series though, this seems very interesting.
