Adult Player is the latest platform to unleash fear among horny internet users. It's reported that this Android app reproduces pornographic content while it captures its users face during streaming.

This act is done secretly, which is why hackers take advantage of compromising evidence to blackmail their victims. This type of ransom ware demands the users, who have fallen in the trap, a modest reward of $500 dlls, which needs to be transferred through PayPal in exchange of unblocking their cellphones.

The previous message appears to be an FBI warning that notifies the "detection of unauthorized porn webpages." This is false advertisement that blocks the device assuring that the money is a fine that is being paid for an unexciting crime.
