Will we see new types of Bitcoin ransomware targeting high-profile users?
Not too long ago, Verizon Enterprise Solutions suffered from a data breach as an unknown assailant managed to infiltrate their Enterprise Solutions division. Even though regular Verizon customers should not be affected by this breach, there is a particular worry regarding this data theft, as it could be used to develop new types of malware and ransomware attacks. Although those details have not been confirmed, the stolen information can be bought on the Darknet for US$100,000.
