Have heard that kind of hacking software before, which encrypted all files on my computer, and when my brother have been using the computer (or course carelessly), it is hacked and they demand a 1.2BTC ransom... These are just one more bad news of BTC, and even make my family members have even worse image on bitcoin... And we decided not to pay the coins to the hacker as all important files have been backed up.

Whay do you think?

i am sorry to hear about this.

but thid has nothing to do with bitcoin. it is like any other ransom. it could have been done using fiat just the same way and that wouldn't have changed anybodys view on fiat.

Right. And a mugger could have used a pillow to smother you, but, for reasons that remain a mystery to me, he chose a Glock.

 Given that a mugger is someone who attacks and robs a person in a public place, I'd say he was probably hard pressed to find a pillow and you lying conveniently on a surface conducive to smothering.

You mean a Glock is a more practical choice? Not sure I understand what you're trying to say.

 That's too bad because it was sarcastically humorous much like your post yet more so.  It's okay, others will understand.
