A fifty thousand payday! Pretty cheap for the wall to wall media coverage.
I wonder who really profited from this cyber action, perhaps the central banking cartel needed to create a reason to attack some threat to its monopoly.
The banks I think want us all to run to support Ripple (XRP), which is supported by banks.....Maybe the hack was organized by the banking Cartel.
It's pretty damn stupid for anybody to pay the ransom. There's probably not a chance in hell that their files would be unlocked.
It all depends on how long it took to create the attack, may still be a reasonable payout for the amount of time invested.
I think that this is a false flag. Central banker elites are just demonizing crypto currencies because they can't control them (us). Bitcoin is the biggest enemy in their sights right now. I truly believe that this is just the beginning of a massive campaign to take it down.
