Argentina’s telecommunications hacked, demands Monero for ransom

[holly.ball8]

Were these hacks caused US authority and fed went hot after Monero or anything related to it? I like Monero but to be honest, I just want it for kind of stay between the gray area. One it becomes a true privacy coin, every authority in the world will want to shut it down.

Must be hard for Telecommunications to even try to contact Monero, I doubt Monero could find a solution for this attack. It was the ransomware attack after all so they have to pay to keep their data. What could Monero do?

Monero is one of the strongest privacy centred coins that I know of so I doubt even monero could help them track the funds plus if the attack uses any sort of mixer then that would make it even tougher to track.

It isn't about Monero can help or not. They can't help someone like that even if they can because doing it like shoot their own foot. No one would use privacy centred Monero if the team could break it privacy matter. The  Argentina telecommunications should give up.

Privacy coin such as Monero is very useful in elicit activities, but I doubt that crypto community is happy for this for using crypto for wrong doings over the internet. Now that hackers are exercising the use of privacy coins the authorities will have a hard time tracking illegal funds.
