Learn how a blockchain works, idiot.

Buy checking transactions in the blockchain going to the wallet address in the WannaCry UI

>Bitcoin
>Untraceable transactions

absolute trash.

>>60493441
Are you fucking retarded?

>>60493455
no. are YOU?

>>60493441
They're not untraceable

Because retards fucked up and only choose between 3 bitcoins wallets instead of generating a different wallet for different ransoms.

>>60493441
Anonymous but 100% traceable
If we wanted, we could group up and not accept any transactions (especially at exchanges) that have passed through their wallets, rendering the gains useless. Top kek.

How does that even work?
How can they tell who paid and who didn't when the addresses aren't unique?

>>60493376
CSA said they could trace the Bitcoin payment, but couldn't detect if any files were actually recovered. Sounds about right for the NSA who """"confirmed"""" russia """"hacked"""" our election

>wallet X associated with infected computer Y goes up 300 usd
>give password to computer Y to unlock their shit
This just means that anyone can pay for anyone else, but i'm pretty sure the guys only really care about the money

>>60495573
Except there's like 250000 computers and apparently only 3 wallets.

Shit, my bad, i read the wrong reply chain and though you asked how would generating a wallet for each infected PC work.
Can you include a message or something when you send bitcoin?
They could generate a unique random string and ask people to include them in the transaction notes

I don't think they care. Do they actually decrypt the files after the ransom? Any proven cases of this actually happening?

>>60495680
Almost all decently sized ransomware infections did, tho i haven't heard any news regarding this particular one in either way.
I tried googling a bit but all i could get is trash sites avoiding the question because they don't want to give a clear answer like: "they are criminals so it doesn't guarantee it works"

Nothing proven.

(Note the guy said he HADN'T paid.)

>>60495646
There are ways to smuggle messages into the blockchain but I don't think it's an actual feature in any of the mainstream wallets software.
And afaik the ransomware doesn't mention any unique message either, just an address and a dollar amount, so no way to identify the transaction by bitcoin amount either.

I think it's just a scam, they have no way of differentiating the transactions.

>>60495943
It's interesting to think that this could screw up the ransomware marketplace.

The thing that makes ransomware lucrative is the reassurance the victim has that paying works.

But Wannacry now adds some FUD to that process. Why pay when there's no guarantee? Just accept your losses.
