Yamatough demanded that Symantec transfer the money via Liberty Reserve, a payment processor based in San Jose, Costa Rica. But Thomas appears reluctant, calling it "more complicated than we expected." Thomas instead suggests using PayPal to transmit a $1,000 test as "a sign of good faith." Yamatough rejects that offer, saying, "Do not send us any money (we do not use paypal period)
Could someone comment on how it is possible to use Liberty Reserve to receive money anonymously?
The stakes are really high for getting caught, and receiving the money is the weakest point for the hackers. So I'm curious why Liberty Reserve is the payment processor of choice for these cyber-criminals.
