All of that is true, but this isn't (and shouldn't be IMO) a political issue. If the morons in Washington keep jerking off and letting this continue, what happens when these terrorists, and that's exactly what they are, crash some planes or shut off the power grid for some hospitals killing a bunch of patients? We don't need to focus on recovering money, we need to focus on ending this threat before it completely gets out of control. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

Mars, this isn't really a crypto issue, as crypto is pretty secure. However, if the government puts you in a small room without windows and forces you to pony up your unique crypto ID, recovering whatever becomes quite simple. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

Good read on this mess from Jordan Schachtel. According to him the Fed's didn't actually "hack"anything. A DOJ warrant from Monday morning gives us much more detail about how the government actually secured the bitcoin funds. They did so by obtaining a warrant on a bitcoin wallet or exchange that had servers in Northern California. Yes, you read that correctly. The entity responsible for the ransomware attack did not in fact have custody over their bitcoin. Instead, they were using a custodian for their funds. It is unclear whether this account with servers in the United States is an FBI wallet or the affiliate’s wallet, but the major error in bitcoin 101 custody remains the surprising issue. Using a custodian for your funds instead of maintaining possession of them is a very basic error, especially for an allegedly sophisticated hacking gang. Given that bitcoin transactions are publicly available, it was easy for the feds to track the funds transferred from Colonial to this outfit, as Colonial’s initial transfer to the bitcoin wallet is public information. All they had to do was “follow the money,” which strangely made its way into a U.S. based custodial address. https://dossier.substack.com/p...the-russians?r=6a3x3 | |||

Meat company JBS confirms it paid $11M ransom in cyberattack https://wcyb.com/news/nation-w...ansom-in-cyberattack The world’s largest meat processing company says it paid the equivalent of $11 million to hackers who broke into its computer system late last month. It wasn't immediately clear if JBS also paid its ransom in bitcoin. JBS said it spends more than $200 million annually on IT and employs more than 850 IT professionals globally. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."
