John Oliver did a look at Ransomeware hacks last week. https://youtu.be/WqD-ATqw3js He highlights the response to the Colonial Pipeline hack, which was basically the government asking the company to pretty please pay the ransom and get the gas flowing again. Amongst various other headline hacks that have made major news and caused huge problems.

If you check my earlier post, there's a twitter post showing the exchanges between the hacker and well, everyone else via the blockchain explorer. Mr White Hat seems to be the term that the hacker came up with when negotiating with PolyNetwork over how to reference him and how to protect him from prosecution while the hacker returns back the money he stole

I feel there's at least another incident where a hacker was arrested this way, but I can't remember.

I don't get that whole thing. Payment processors are okay with regular porn sites, so what's the difference with Onlyfans? Is it because they are not explicitly a porn site and try to front their family-friendly section?

It's not really to do with payment processors, it's because the founders want big VC money to invest so they can cash out and live on island time permanently

Bitcoin remains a half solution because while no chargebacks, everyone can see Mr Family Man's Bitcoin go to the foot fetish wallet.

IIRC he tried to “pretend” he was a female new to the business who happened to hear about crypto and how great it was for payments. I don’t really spend much time in the “war” between the sexes, but even I could feel the condescension and outright misogyny as the chat progressed. It was glorious!

Vesi posted:OF not willing to do the extra work True, but per that Twitter thread above the extra requirements include things like live monitoring of ongoing streams. Probably a single person can do that for themselves, the scale is a bit different for a site serving tens or hundreds of thousands of those at once. It really does seem to boil down to 'we want to make it as difficult as possible for anyone to legally put nudity online'.
