NgoMvulo, ii-arhente zokunyanzeliswa komthetho zase-US zathi zibambe ngempumelelo i-$ 2.3 yezigidi (iziqwenga ze-63.7) ze-bitcoin ezihlawulwe kwiqela le-cybercriminal i-DarkSide kwi-Colonial Pipeline case blackmail.

Kwavela ukuba nge-9 kaMeyi, iUnited States yabhengeza imeko yonxunguphalo.Isizathu yayikukuba uMbhobho weKoloni, owona msebenzi mkhulu wemibhobho yasekhaya, wahlaselwa ngaphandle kweintanethi kwaye abahlaseli baphanga izigidi zeedola kwi-bitcoin.Ngokukhawuleza, uColonier wayengenayo enye indlela ngaphandle "kokuvuma isiluleko sakhe".

Ngokuphathelele indlela abahlaseli abagqibe ngayo ukungenelela, i-CEO yeColonel uJoseph Blount idize ngoLwesibini ukuba abahlaseli basebenzise igama eliyimfihlo elibiweyo ukungena kwinkqubo yenethiwekhi yangasese yangasese ngaphandle kobungqina obuninzi kwaye baqalise ukuhlasela.

Kuxelwa ukuba le nkqubo inokufumaneka ngephasiwedi kwaye ayifuni ukuqinisekiswa okwesibini njengeSMS.Ekuphenduleni amathandabuzo angaphandle, u-Blunt wagxininisa ukuba nangona inkqubo yenethiwekhi yangasese yangasese iyingqinisiso eyodwa, igama eliyimfihlo linzima kakhulu, kungekhona indibaniselwano elula njengeColonial123.

Yintoni enika umdla kukuba i-FBI iqhekeze ityala kancinci "umbala obuyayo".Basebenzise “isitshixo sabucala” (oko kukuthi, igama eliyimfihlo) ukuze bafikelele kwesinye sezipaji zebitcoin zomqweqwedisi.

I-Bitcoin ikhawulezise ukuhla kwayo ngoLwesibini kusasa e-United States ngelo xesha, kwaye yakha yawela ngaphantsi kwe-32,000 yeedola, kodwa i-cryptocurrency enkulu yehlabathi emva koko yanciphisa ukuhla kwayo.Ixabiso lemali yamva nje ngaphambi kwexesha elibekiweyo laliyi-33,100 yeedola.
