This is enlightening. The 1989 ransomware that had a PO Box in Panama is hilarious. Really? Panama?
Good point, thanks.
However, opaque ledgers may make it difficult to hunt them down (Zcash, monero) in the future.
- px43 5y agoMaybe companies will start enabling MFA by then? Kind of frustrating how easy it still is to break into critical infrastructure. I do that sort of thing regularly as my day job. Companies who put a slight effort into security don't get ransomwared. The idea that law enforcement needs full visibility into everyone's financial history, and that's the only way for them to stop crime, is ridiculous.
