Do ransomware attackers get caught?
There’s a slim chance of ransomware attackers getting caught. For one, they use bitcoin as their preferred ransom currency, rendering the transactions next-to-impossible to track. Also, authorities often turn a blind eye to ransomware attacks pushed on an international level due to policing difficulties. With all this in mind, ransomware remains a relatively risk-free form of cybercrime, making it a lucrative means for cybercriminals to earn a living.
