Police search for a hacker who stole Virginia State's pharmaceutical records from the state's prescription drug database.
He demands for 10 million dollars and threatens to sell the info to the highest bidder if not paid.
The police don't know if he has already sold the info. Also they have no way of knowing if after paying the 10 million dollar ransom, the hacker will actually give back the information. We know this situation well thanks to all the newbs who steal accounts. Where is a good trusted Middleman in real life when you need one?
They found what happened when they saw the website hacked, a ransom note was left saying...
"I have your ***! In my possession, right now, are 8,257,378 patient records and a total of 35,548,087 prescriptions. Also, I made an encrypted backup and deleted the original. Unfortunately for Virginia, their backups seem to have gone missing, too. Uhoh :( For $10 million, I will gladly send along the password."
Seriously, the hacker sounds like a newb from EO, but EO hackers don't do much except spam forums and use third party programs.

This, I would say, isn't a very good comparison. For one, the "hackers" of EO are pathetic, and know next to nothing about actual hacking. The idiots on Eo (There are a few with the know-how to make an actually third-party program) think they're the main squeeze because they use a program that they downloaded. It's rather amusing really seeing them trying to be better when they aren't.
ReplyDeleteFor people like Yungstunna on the forums...well it's the same case. He just uses a third-party program to annoy people. He's nothing, a nobody. I'm surprised that he still hangs around.
