is wannacry a reason for some of the mess

ransomware should have been paid in a more meme currency like dogecoin

I remember seeing a shiton of stuff about the whole asic miners like being fucked up where it'd give the chinks some of the coins?

chinks own bitcoin mining now

@Laasti people say it's because of bitcoin core politics

and people are purposely bombing the network with transactions or something

they should've spread the touhou ransomware instead

lol^

but it's pretty controversial

so take what I say with a grain of salt

interesting

bitcoin community is split into two camps that hate eate other

I still don't get what's going on

I heard on the radio yesterday the wannacry hackers might possibly be related to the north korean hackers from a while back

because of very similar shoddy code

yeah, saw that on bbc

<:thonk:288060975775612929>

would be pretty crazy if it actually was them

they pretty much owned the world

was it based on the cia stuff that was leaked?

not sure, here's an article

https://www.wired.com/2017/05/wannacry-ransomware-link-suspected-north-korean-hackers/

it was real nasty for ransomware

mind you fuck the nhs for continuing to use XP

they had it coming

apparently a google researcher pointed out some of this

tfw my nhs trust got wanncry'd

these similarities

good thing I almost died the week before

also fuck anyone who doesn't update their systems, especially hospitals and banks

you've had years to AT LEAST get a copy of windows 7 with updates, not even 10

reminds me of when I went to the eyeglasses center in my local costco last week, their terminals are still running text based software

probably on windows xp

i mean

why do you care

because my patient records are on these systems

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For costco, I don't really, I found it amusing. It's just like, when they've had all this outdated shit for years and they get hacked

they're asking for it
