Can you really say they're making money off ransomware if they can't convert the buttcoins to cash or use them to buy anything because they'd be caught immediately?

anyway, what's the encryption model for ransomwares? I bet they use symmetric crypto because asymmetric is way too slow for this. Seems like every victim has different key, yet there is probably no need to initially send key over network.
So the key is derived from random something and at least part of that something is shown to victim, this is send with payment and full key again derived from that part of something?
Can't the key derivation be reverse-engineered from ransomware?

I'm on Linux, so bring it on bitches.

ransomware might have public key, symmetric key is randomly generated and encrypted with public key, attacker receives encrypted symmetric key and sends decrypted back. PGP works similarly

My company was hit by it and wanted a Bitcoin per GB. Only reason it happened is because someone with admin rights password was common or weal enough to be brute forced or guessed
