- civilian 9y agoIDK. From a certain point of view, you could view them as doing a service. What if a different kind of criminal had used these exploits? Not one that wanted $300 in bitcoin, but one that actually wanted to cause harm? They could have deleted files and never given them back, and they could have stopped any software running on the machines.
- celticninja 9y agoWell it looks like this malware doesn't unlock even after payment so they kind of have deleted the data.
- pcr0 9y agoSource?
- shp0ngle 9y agoYeah, and all for few thousands. That still hasn't moved out from the wallets.
