Paladinus posted:Most ransomware viruses do literally nothing, and as with Melon Husk giveaways the idea is to get the dumbest person who is willing to part with their money. Bitcoin ones especially. Remember the first major ransomware campaign involving bitcoin? IIRC it was a big time Russian mob-backed effort, the kind with funding behind it that really will release the data if paid in time. It seems 3 days is not nearly long enough to figure out how to use bitcoin, and this was tarnishing the ransomware scene's reputation for honesty and trustworthiness as such, meaning people were less likely to bother trying to pay ransom. It was such a disaster that they had to create a customer support department with lines that victims could call to try and guide them safely through the bitcoin process, and give them a free decrypt key if it was genuinely impossible to do within the malware's 72 hour time limit, so they switched to Monero etc pretty quick. When criminals use bitcoin it makes the criminal look worse by association, not bitcoins Syd Midnight fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Dec 24, 2019 |

SIGSEGV posted:or illegally gamble with the mafia in a disreputable establishment that would be preferable, the mob is too reputable to use bitcoin. when the russian mafia first tried to use bitcoin wide scale to collect money from ransomware victims, bitcoins were so complicated and volatile and exchanges so dishonest and unreliable that it was a pr fiasco so damaging to their reputation that they actually had to set up technical support hotlines to give free decrypt keys to victims who were unable to pay ransoms in time because of bitcoin, and eventually adopted their own cryoptocurrency which is superior to bitcoin because it's a fiat currency backed by organized crime, kinda like real money. if that parable doesn't answer your questions, then sure whatever straight to the mooon

Paladinus posted:I've been touching computers professionally for almost a decade and I've never heard the term failed wedding before. Or is it just a metaphor for this one thing? "failed wedding" sounds like such a desperate metaphor, like the us military calling getting their asses kicked "alternative objectives" or "strategic re-maneuvers"
