The Spanish Intelligence Agency has intercepted online communications passed between jihadists discussing the weaponization of the Ebola virus, while terrorists in Prague threaten to unleash the deadly virus unless the Czech Republic pays a king’s ransom of one million euros, in Bitcoin.
The blackmailers warned that failure to comply with any of their requests would lead to the spreading of the infectious disease throughout Prague and into other cities, and that failure to answer their letter would also result in a ‘viral’ social media smear campaign.
"If you don’t answer this letter, we will send press releases to media and inform people on social networks such as Twitter, Facebook and Youtube to let them know how negligent the Czech offices are."
The threat was issued by anonymous emails to the cabinet offices of the Czech government which were then passed on to the media. There is a question as to whether the government possess the nearly 4000 bitcoin that would be needed to satisfy the digital demand.
ebolaThe Czech Republic’s interior ministry issued a public statement saying that “the culprit or culprits are using very sophisticated communication methods.” This means the potential attackers are probably using the TOR Network, which is popular with Bitcoin enthusiasts, to conceal their identities. The spokesman commented that the cold weather would hopefully slow the infection from spreading.
The Czech Republic currently has no confirmed cases of Ebola, although there have been several scares recently. Tonight is the payment deadline. So in a few hours, we could know for sure if the terrorists actually carry out their sinister plan of mass infection.
