Cyberattack :Petya virus : "The ransoms in bitcoins"
Hello :)
A cyber attack of an "unprecedented level" would have started yesterday, blocking a large number of computers around the world and paralyzing many companies. Like WannaCry in May, the Petya virus takes advantage of a Windows security vulnerability to encrypt some files, thus making the infected computer unusable. It then displays a request for ransom in bitcoins in exchange for a decryption key that you will never get.
Posteo, the messenger service used by the ransomers, closed the address that the victims had to use to provide proof of payment. Paying the ransom will not allow you to recover the contents of your computer.
The only address currently published by the victims contains only 4 bitcoins: 1Mz7153HMuxXTuR2R1t78mGSdzaAtNbBWX
"Payments are not completely anonymous. "Payments are traceable, addresses are filed by specialized police. The data are then communicated to the currency exchange platforms: the bitcoins in question then become difficult to use, such as banknotes whose numbers would have been listed. "The ransoms in bitcoins" do not have much future " , Concludes l. Eventually, the interest of the pirates for this currency would become limited. "
Tracked by all the fonts of the world, the bitcoins paid on the three payment addresses of WannaCry will indeed be difficult to use. They have still not moved from their original address:

- 12t9YDPgwueZ9NyMgw519p7AA8isjr6SMw
- 115p7UMMngoj1pMvkpHijcRdfJNXj6LrLn
Very interesting

We're only at the beginning of all this cybercrime. This is childsplay.
Companies should be really scared of what a good hacker team can do. It's definitely more than they currently see and think.
Let's hope our cryptos will remain safe. Sooner than later more and more companies will be crippled for at least a few days...
they use the technology and blockchaine .. to get their goal

So scary. That is why the best solution is to buy classic car, grow veg in the garden and chill
