With all the problems this Ransomware has caused, it has given Bitcoin a lot of exposure. Yes its in a bad light but we all know there is no such thing as bad exposure. the last 5 days I have heard the word Bitcoin on radio and TV more than ever before. A lot of people who don't know about it are now asking questions and doing research. Its growing in popularity especially in developing countries where its not so well known.
People might really think on what bitcoin is since it has been used as ransom payments for the hackers maybe some poeple would reasearch about it. But im wondering on how does this attack would affect to those powerfull minds nor in authority. I think it has giod effect and bad effect since at the first place bitcoin has been used again as blood money for their bad acts. Lets hope bitcoins adoption will not be hit and would get more bad image for this incident.
