Really hard to say if they got the private key, but it is really weird if they try to hack back the hackers?
Servers doesn't contained private key, and I believed that the hackers will keep in somewhere safe. So it is really mind boggling, if governments has the ability to track and seized the ransom, then by all means they can get to anyone.
Anyhow, this is clearly an cyber war now against those group of hackers who is targeting, anything, from universities to hospitals to private companies to demand huge amount of money in bitcoins.
Very alarming indeed! if they can really do that and they are capable of trcking and chasing those illegal activities then they are more
capable in tracking everyone.
Not to create anything but if so, it's also good as there's a cyberwar between hackers and government specialist, the case of hacking
those known venue for hacking can be protected for good.
