HBO is trying to get $250,000 in Bitcoin to pay hackers who stole scripts
- fischersully 9y ago250K is better than zero to us laymen. Hackers' dismissal of said amount shows they are big time.
- quuquuquu 9y agoThe game theory is a bit interesting here. You pay the 250k, they give you back everything, and this was all a big scare, a 5-10% budget overrun, and everyone goes home happy Or, you pay the 250k, they don't give you back anything, andddddd..... I don't know, you lose the money and you look stupid to the outside world? I guess the real lesson here is don't get hacked, because choices are pretty dismal beyond that point
