Won't you run into the problem of them being able to say "look, that's not on our list of keypairs, nor is it a keypair we've ever used; it ain't us" and being somewhat believed?
- arcticbull 5y agoI'm not sure that would matter - the FUD alone might just be enough. Everyone expects the ransomware authors to lie, but if the government picked a few high enough profile mid-caps to play along, made it look legit, folks would probable ignore the grumblings of the ransomware authors and attribute it to incompetence.
