It is highly likely the case, that some people involved with crimes concerning FIATs, also see the potential of the BTC being used in crimes. A perfect example is in the UK were a hacker infiltrated the central network for the Health Department, and due to this infiltration, the system could not be used for several hours to a day, and the hacker was asking for 300BTC.

Then I guess that hacker is not really that smart. Bitcoin is not really anonymous and yes, Criminals are using bitcoin the reason they are now in their own prison cells. Don't you wonder why the Silk Road of the deep web was caught even if they are using Bitcoin as a payment? Bitcoin is not really anonymous, it can still be tracked.
