This is one of the actions that will bring down the good name of Bitcoin which is currently developing for the better in the future. Of course we must act decisively! So that all Bitcoin users will become safer in the future. And we must continue to be vigilant, and also be careful in safeguarding the Bitcoin we have today. Hopefully all these unfavorable extortion actions will be resolved soon.
Didn't you read what I said? People already use bitcoin for their criminal activities, It's safe and it would be very difficult to track down the transactions to catch them. This is already a part of bitcoin, Nothing like this could ever bring down the system.
Some stupid kid got his hands on some password from some easy to hack forums and now they're trying their luck, Someone would either pay which would be good for the stupid kid or they wouldn't pay.
Even this forum was hacked at some point and all the emails/password hashes were leaked, Forum admins are people too, They could just sell your email and passwords to someone interested in buying them.
