Ransomware attack, my thoughts

in ransomware •  8 years ago 


After watching this video and already having my own ideas about who was behind this attack and why, I started thinking a little deeper. Maybe, just maybe, the "good guys" are letting those who know about bitcoin, but have never purchased bitcoin, now is the time to learn. This came to me after talking to my 77 year old Mom ( who knows I'm into bitcoin, and that "the news" says these attacks are somehow related to bitcoin) who said she just saw another story on the local news talking about the attacks and not mentioning bitcoin this time, but at the bottom of the screen it said "How to Buy Bitcoin."

Anyway, just mind wandering. Maybe? Maybe Not?
