Din computer er blevet låst. Koda virus

The scary warning allegedly coming from KODA organization is a virus developed by hackers to steal money from unwary users. This malware is classified by us as ransomware because it locks the desktop of the infected PC and asks for certain amount of ransom to be paid in favor of the crooks who developed it. What is KODA, by the way?

KODA is a non-profit collective rights management society that administers Danish and international copyrights for music creators and publishers, when their music is performed in public. KODA’s two main tasks are to ensure that the music creators get paid when their music is played in public – and to ensure that the music users are able to clear the rights to the music they wish to use. KODA represents approximately 36,500 Danish composers, songwriters and music publishers. Through reciprocal contracts with rights societies in more than 115 countries, we offer the entire world repertoire of music in one single agreement.
