FBI Infiltrated Hive Network, Blocking Over $130 Million in Crypto Ransomware
No, not that Hive network; this is the so-called Hive ransomware network, or group.
Blockchain forensic firm Chainalysis recently reported the revenue from ransomware attacks has decreased by 40%, going from $766 million in 2021 to $457 million in 2022. The firm attributed the drop in ransomware payments to victims’ increasing unwillingness to pay and an increase in cybersecurity awareness, calling the takedown of Hive a victory for cryptocurrency, law enforcement, and national security.
Hoorah! But most ransomware attacks still involve a phishing vector as the way in. Just stop clicking random emails and messages! Also, do not give wallet permissions to every popup that demands one; that can be more tricky, but be aware of whether your interactions need some new permissions. These also happen when scammy yield pools change contract and request permission to steal your money.
Damn got excited for a moment lol
I keep slagging off truly crappy clickbait headlines... but couldn't resist that one!
some of the clickbaits are plain wrong - shitclicks.
BTW you still hold some BYT tokens - please sell them on market - the program has closed.
If it’s hive engine I can just not use the platform I don’t get it at all never works for me
lol. I hence have no idea how you got them! Maybe gifted.
Never mind - not a life-changing amount - I'm trying to herd cats and ghosts before the market closes!
How much do I have there? I’ll try and work it out again I’ve just always struggled with hive engine
It's not just the BYT, but also the accumulated rewards earnt over many months - I'd estimate maybe 5x value in those other tokens. You can check what you have here = https://he.dtools.dev/@ultravioletmag?symbol=BYT
I see you did buy them, so you must have had access.
You can also see all activity - inc automated - here = https://he.dtools.dev/@ultravioletmag
I have access I can login I just really struggle to use it. I don’t think I’ve managed to sell any tokens yet but it is possible that I somehow worked out how to buy them. I’ll give it another go
So I don’t get how I sell them or do anything with them? But managed to log in on my iPad
never used it on mobile, but that hamburger icon should have a link to the actual market, then click the buyback price, or just type it 0.295, then all your tokens.
Any problems, just take a screenshot so can see all options.
I guess vyb crashed then
I noticed that some people here doesn't like Hive. Why exactly?
one issue is the pro and anti downvoting facility - and use.
4 me is only a platform characteristics, idk if it's so bad, but, of course, I don't know all the arguments against it
But now I understand somethings, thank you 😅
