Statements like "money of advertisers and founders was transferred to an unknown account" don't make sense to me. Why is the money held on a server at all? Sure

Statements like "money of advertisers and founders was transferred to an unknown account" don't make sense to me. Why is the money held on a server at all? Surely it's more secure to keep wallets receiving money locally on a laptop or in a paper wallet, no? Why would they put the gold in the munitions depot if they don't have to?
- timdellinger 5y agoI'm seeing statements about the payments server and the money associated with the payments server, but (at the risk of using an analogy) it seems like they've lost their "petty cash" box, not their main account. Surely they were wise enough to only put a small amount of money in the payments server. The bulk of their cash would be in a separate account (which wasn't lost).
- 3pt14159 5y agoOh well then I take it these guys will be back in some form or another in the coming weeks. With enough cash and time they can replace their seized infrastructure without too much effort. Probably with a non-American target next time. I don't understand why so many hackers target America when the USA has the strongest offensive cyber capabilities of any nation on earth. Surely there is less blowback from hacking an Argentinian pipeline.
