Re: RANSOMWARE impact

Highly visible shit like this, will be used by governments to regulate and/or outlaw crypto, and stops normal people from touching crypto

THIS IS VERY BAD Sad

I would not be surprised if the recent -10% move is connected with Wannacry.

Nah. The price was (still is) overbought. It's normal to see the price drop if you take into consideration that people are cashing out, plus the fact that there is a poor level of buy support throughout the entire market at these levels. I personally don't give a single damn about the wave of ransomware infections, and others shouldn't too if they take care of their system security properly.

yea, but this ransomware spread is hitting government PC instance.
sure we, who aware such PC security won't take this issue serious, but imagine of a govn. instance with all public data got this on their server.

The fault was in the people who made and leaked this virus, because it obviously isn't home-made, Bitcoin is just a tool they are using to help their scheme not the cause.

Nah, just heard that this virus leaked from NSA (their cyber weapon). So many organisation and government around the world have been infected and result in a loss. Just hope that the hackers will be revealed, I'm sure that his address will always be monitored, even if it's have reached the mixing service. Out of curiosity, if the mixing services were forced by the Interpol to reveal all the data, would they? it's a big question.
