Not fearing prosecution, cybercriminals regularly impersonate law enforcement online in an attempt to socially engineer end users and corporate users into interacting with their malicious campaigns. From 419 scams, police ransomware, to law enforcement themed malware-serving email campaigns, cybercriminals continue abusing the international branches of various law enforcement agencies.

Screenshot of the spamvertised email:
