'Pay ransom but in bitcoins', was the message received by a diagnostic centre in North Delhi whose computer server was hacked into from outside India.

The CBI's cyber cell recently registered a case against unknown people after being approached by the diagnostic centre with a complaint and a ransom note from the hacker demanding USD 1300 (Rs 88,000 approximately) but in bitcoins.
