Hackers Attack Sacramento Transit System for 1 BTC RansomsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #crypto7 years ago

A hacker has attacked and crippled the Sacramento Regional Transit (SacRT) system for a ransom of 1 Bitcoin, or about $8,000 at today’s market value.

The attack erased important programs that are necessary for planning and dispatching bus routes, as well as dispatching employees for service.

In an odd move, the hacker demanded a single Bitcoin in order to stop making the attacks and to allow the computer team at SacRT to get the system back online.
