Bitcoin ransomware locks 10 years’ worth of government data in Argentina
Hunger hackers in BitCoin have attacked a data center in Argentina where government files are kept. Argentina's Minister of Science and Technology Alyssa Banuelos says the attack took place on November 25.
In an interview on December 2, he said 90 percent of encrypted data had been recovered. The attack affected the government's 7700 GB data for 10 years.
ELISA said the decrypting process will take 15 days to complete.
The exact amount of the ransom demanded by the hackers could not be ascertained, but it is estimated that the amount was from $ 37,000 to $ 380,000.
In one such case, a hacker group last week raided an American data center and in two days obtained 200 million worth of bitcoin.
