I always wondered why these hacker groups usually ask for Bitcoin. You'd think they're would be some incentive to ask for a coin with more privacy features... although these guys know all the tricks to make Bitcoin itself anonymous... and trading Bitcoin for a privacy coin is obviously pretty trivial.
Still, I wonder if there is some kind of other reason, besides brand notoriety, that Bitcoin is asked for.
Baiting people perhaps? Or psyop? Hard to say. Seems like low hanging fruit thus far so until other ‘tiers’ are reached we will know if it’s legit or not.
