tao Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Ransomware decrypts Taiwanese netizen's computer due to his low income Netizen e-mailed the help line of ThunderCrypt because he couldn't afford the ransom TAIPEI (Taiwan News) --On May 4, a Taiwanese netizen emailed the helpline of ThunderCrypt ransomware after his PC got infected, and said that he only makes $400 monthly, and he couldn't afford the 0.345 bitcoin he was asked to pay. He later got decrypted by the helpline because they thought they have largely overestimated the nation's income. A Breaking News Commune (爆料公社) member posted images of email correspondence between a netizen and an apparent representative of the ransomware ThunderCrypt on May 15. The netizen was asked to pay 0.345 bitcoins after the ransomware locked down all the files on his infected computer, he wrote an email to the customer service with title “I only make US$400 a month, you really wanna do this to me?” saying that he could not afford the ransom to decrypt his computer. ThunderCrypt responded to his message and told the netizen that they have switched it to decryption mode and will start to unlock his computer automatically soon. It also admitted that their Taiwanese campaign was a failure because they “largely overestimated” the average income of the nation. On Friday May 12, a similar ransomware was launched called WannaCry, also known as Wanna Decryptor or wcry, which affected more than 100,000 organizations in 150 countries with Taiwan among the top targets.

steven36 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 if you going to place the blame on someone why stop there , politicians are funded by the Rich so really it's Rich people period that never stop exploiting the poor. If they have enough money they can pretty much get anything they want done in politics. A lot politicians were lawyers and things they are use to taking money too get laws passed or not passed. It's all rigged by the rich so a poor person stays poor.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you compare a Chinese man income with an American? ps. I never support hackers. that's a joke right? 43.1 million Americans live in poverty and even if you dont that still don't make you the rich are like 1%. And China is a poor choice and shows what you know they have a closed internet so hackers don't want too fool with that . You know were most of the goods are made that makes the 1% rich in the USA there made in China so most of those people in China depends on the USA for money.. When you steal from the Rich in the USA you're stealing from every country the USA have businesses in that depends on them for a pay check.. Quote Turkey is currently our 34th largest goods trading partner with $18.7 billion in total (two way) goods trade during 2013. Goods exports totaled $12.1 billion; Goods imports totaled $6.7 billion. The U.S. goods trade surplus with Turkey was $5.4 billion in 2013. You're county makes billions of dollars a year off the USA and you won't hackers to take there Money? A lot of the 1% money is stored in offshore accounts so they don't have too pay taxes on it so it's not even in. The USA. is $13.62 trillion dollars in debt and there is trillions of dollars not in the USA that should of went too the Government . If not rich and you don't pay taxes you lose everything you got.

They require the poor people to elect them. So the very people who complain about being poor are the ones that elect the people who keep them poor. Sad isn't it.

Not really , I know many poor people who never voted in there life so they dont require poor people too vote it just requires the people who sign up . three-quarters of adult Americans didn't vote for Trump Who are the three-quarters of adult Americans who didn't vote for Trump? .https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/18/american-non-voters-election-donald-trump Quote The president-elect came second in the popular vote in November but the biggest bloc in the US electorate was those who for different reasons did not vote If you were to knock on the door of a random house in a random street in America and ask a random person if they voted for Donald Trump, chances are they would say no. That’s because three in four US adults didn’t check a box in November to say they approve of the president-elect. The rich people pay for there campaigns and the few that even cares votes , most people dont even care that's reality . More people who lived outside the USA acted like they cared who can't even vote in the USA.. 4 reasons why many people don’t vote https://www.sciencenewsforstudents.org/article/4-reasons-why-many-people-dont-vote Quote About 55.7% of the U.S. voting-age population cast ballots in the 2016 presidential election, http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/05/15/u-s-voter-turnout-trails-most-developed-countries/ Just because they want you're vote dont mean they are going too get it. Around 45% of the USA didn't vote at all it would not matter if only 10% voted they just vote on how many who wants too vote... way more people didn't vote than are in poverty 45% didn't vote vs the 14.5% in poverty . Even the person who lost was backed with Hollywood's money and Trump was backed with the rich Republicans Money One graph shows how the rich control American politics Quote They spend billions influencing America’s government. We give them trillions in return. In the last 5 years alone, the 200 most politically active companies in the US spent $5.8 billion influencing our government with lobbying and campaign contributions. Those same companies got $4.4 trillion in taxpayer support — earning a return of 750 times their investment. https://represent.us/action/theproblem-3/ In the end it don't matter who gets voted in noway there all going to be bought off by the Rich . And if you dont got the big money too send there way you're opinion don't mater because money talks and bullshit walks. Evey politician lies to get in there and never does what they say there going too do because there bought off to change there mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality is most hackers don't care if you're rich or poor they just want money ..Most people are not dumb enough too pay the ransom noway and the biggest out break of ransomware in 2017 wana cry didn't hardly infect the USA at all and all they made off it was a $100k. The more money someone has the more likely they paid someone too do backups for them . But it don't take someone rich too back up there data were if they get infected to easily reformat and not pay them a dime.So what you wish and what you get are two different things.. No one has trillions of dollars some have billions is all Bill Gates don't have but $87.3 billion.. The richest company in the USA is Walmart and they just have $482.1 billion. there is no such thing as a trillionaire yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Hacking is not cool like people think it is whats cool about ending up in jail or having to work out a deal with some government and working for them for free? A lot of famous hackers ended up helping the Government take other hackers out. It just shows people watches too much TV like MR. Robot , Sort of like when I was growing up people wanted to be like Rock Stars Hollywood influences the worlds actions . It always has been like this before hackers there was the Italian Mob people use too look up to them as folk heroes because they seen it in the Movies then the FBI got Hollywood to make anti Mob movies and they started looking up at the FBI . It's just a fad of the times. Even when we were kids we read about Robin Hood but this is not reality . It's a dog eat dog world and even the poor don't care about the poor they would rather stick a gun too you're head and take what you have than look at you .. While the rich has the money to pay for bodyguards were you can't take what they got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
