    funny watching all the $300 payments getting sent to the hackers.

    If you were smart you would watch blockchain info and send the latest transaction ID to the hackers and say you made that payment. If your email gets received first then you win and the poor sucker that sent it would have to send more money. :D There is no way for them to know who made that payment.

    Email addy has been taken down, so even if you do pay you can't get a key back anyways.

    Someone should tell all those people making those transactions. There are are a few recent transactions. Well that's why you should always backup and clone, then you will never have this issue. Oh and don't open random files. ;)

    I always keep 3 backups on 3 different devices over 2 locations and one being cold storage. I really need to buy an EMP proof box to store one hdd in.
