@@campkira You vastly underestimate the stupidity of users. I work in IT and it's pretty insane how people would be willing to read you their bank info or enter their bank credentials into an email because the email looked semi official. Ransomware is becoming more of a novelty these days when all you have to do is make a user thing they have a virus even if there is no real indication of it. Most hacking these days is social engineering.

@@campkira Attacks like NotPetya can also affect an entire network of computers, just by getting access to one. I think they just tested the most basic form of ransomware in this video

The editing on this is pretty bad. The story jumps all over the place and in the end nothing really happens.

So... clickbait. Nice.

This could have been such a great video if they had included images and process flow representations of how the guy went from searching for ransomware as a service to infecting his boss' laptop. Instead they've made an 11+ min video with content that could've been represented in 53 seconds (the exact time stamp for when there is a typo in the video).

Yeah, you right it's waste of time but on the other hand it might be illegal to show people that kind stuff couse you makin' easier for them to try raas or malware thing also youtube wouldn't like it i guess..

Read more about the dark, unseen ransomware market (don't worry, the link is safe...we promise): www.bloomberg.com/features/2020-dark-web-ransomware/

That was a pretty effective ad for ransomeware brought to you by Bloomberg.

This is how we write reports, news and exams -stretched with very little info.

There's a whole market of crypto traders that you can go through who are doing something as illegal as you are. It's certainly not 100% untraceable but it's definitely less traceable than cash if you know your way arouns

​@m why all this mess ?? Monero alone is enough.

What’s missing from this story is the trust relationship between the two Bloomberg employees. Think about it like this, someone coming to break into your network doesn’t first notify you and there typically is some form of endpoint protection. They neglected to mention what safeguards were in place that this ransomware somehow mitigated.

Those windows sound effects 😃

Where i can buying rensomware plis?

So, you consider letting people know that anyone can do this of public interest? I say that it might entice more people to actually do it.

Dude paid $150 for a site , this ham got ripped😂

Drake work for Bloomberg also

So interesting

I hate hand movements

Good thing this was for an investigative piece. Otherwise, *pretty* sure this is grounds for being fired.

Geofencing. It's like saying that russia will let its hackers hack if they don't hack russia. It's similar with indian and chinese hackers too.

How to buy ransomware

Ransomware not ransomeware

Seems like they where mainly trying to make a point instead of show entertaining content. I'd imagine they didn't want to promote any specific dark web site or specific malware tool. I'm guessing that's why they didn't make this more entertaining and show us more. It would've be fun to see what they were doing though as most of us, including myself, have no idea what those programs or sites even look like. Or maybe their lawyers told them not too.

I find fascination in this topic, yet this is remarkably uninteresting. You didn't actually show any of the process or talk about the systems in place against this stuff... You didn't even include the element of the reaction of your boss as he was on to the sceme the whole time. Just two guys taking into a camera conveying no actual information

Bruh use Monero BTC are traceable you might get caught!
