Ransomware attackers are increasingly demanding privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like #Monero, but its rising cost and difficulty in acquisition have kept Bitcoin as the primary payment method. Many victims struggle to meet Monero demands, leading attackers to often accept Bitcoin when faced with these logistical hurdles. This shift has significantly reduced ransomware payments in anything other than Bitcoin. While attackers may prefer Monero for anonymity, they prioritize quick payments and compromise when necessary. However, they still use mixers to anonymize traceable Bitcoin, adding another layer of complexity. #Ransomware #CyberSecurity #Cryptocurrency #Bitcoin #CyberTrends
