Topic: RANSOMWARE impact - page 11. (Read 12366 times)
Maybe the ob good thing in this all bad ransomware situation is that the hackers haven't earned that much, people were not paying to them. At least not that much as they have expected tow get. And I hop at least some of the victims have learned their lesson about the importance of protection and having back up.
This is a very annoying incident that hackers include bitcoin in their hacking, if like this bitcoin will be viewed negatively and I'm afraid bitcoin will be judged as a supportive digital currency in terms of crime. I hope bitcoin will not be blocked because of this incident. Another one, I hope the bitcoin price does not go down drastically because of this incident. 
We cant escape reality and minds of most people would really think on this thing and will surely give negative impact on bitcoins adoption.In this case price might rise because lots will surely paid up the ransom to retrieve or decrypt their machines/system files etc. but image will surely be destroyed on exchange but I don't really bother or worried for bitcoin to be shutdown because of this one.Everyone, especially the miners, said that if bitcoin segwit, they would lose the benefits. However, it is not accurate, in addition, some benefits are only their own interests, this shows that they are selfish. We should choose the measures that benefit the community.

I don't think it will be impossible to track who did this ransomware. I know one day there would be some hunters that can track him down. Well this is just another crime but the hacker is asking to ransom for bitcoin and this is going to give bitcoin another bad reputation. Shame on this guy, I hope that this will be resolved soon.

I think the bitcoin will fall because of RANSOMWARE,it is impossible/Difficult to track who did this and in futur Bitcoins will be considered as a motivation mean for such act
Well in fact if the malware is REALLY EFFICIENT the price should rise.
Because lots of money will have to be transformed into btc to pay the ransom xD

Will bitcoin be more famous with the existence of this ransomware virus?
Hopefully with the increasing popularity of bitcoin will make bitcoin prices rise.

Its going to make more people wonder what is this bitcoin thing. The masses must be wondering how can someone pay without being tracked and investigate further.

I think the answer is yes because more and more people in my country start to read more about Bitcoin since there have been a wannacry. I believe that after this situation, the prices of Bitcoin will cross $2000 Hopefully with the increasing popularity of bitcoin will make bitcoin prices rise.

I too feel strongly about this situation. Aside from any economic impact this also has a detrimental effect on the public's perception of technologies such as Bitcoin and Tor.
There are 'good guys' trying to prevent this type of problem; https://tornull.org - perhaps we might try to help them!

80% of Indian ATMs operate on Windows XP and uses a firmware that limits the machine’s activities to basics such as dispensing cash and checking the balance. Other activities are blacklisted, which prevent a ransomware from attacking an ATM.
I'm curious though if it still spreads in India and how accurate do you think this statement really is.

Meanwhile in China (Cause Pirated versions are even in the ATM machines)

Not only ATMs in China, many hospitals have similar problems, this hacker group is causing a global crisis. Although it is temporarily prevented, however, there is not anything that can guarantee that it will cease. They are really dangerous guys.
All currencies since the beginning of time have been used to carry out a hostage/ransom situation at some point.

This incidents was very annoying that the hackers use bitcoin because they thought it will Untraceable but i think it also will have slightly impact for bitcoin price but Not globally because after these incidents i didn't see any countries declare to block bitcoin
I think the bitcoin will fall because of RANSOMWARE,it is impossible/Difficult to track who did this and in futur Bitcoins will be considered as a motivation mean for such act
Bitcoin was being used for criminal purposes for several years and even government know about this but they can't switch it off or take it down. So even though bitcoin can be considered as a motivation for criminal act, bitcoin will not fall or won't be dead.
