Asking for ransom in Bitcoin is a red flag because it is more traceable than other cryptocurrencies preferred by elite hackers.
Now, the other thing that's important to consider about this is that they're asking for Bitcoin, which is a red flag. Because right now, Bitcoin's going through some trouble. I don't know if you know that. And most people who would be I have not heard anything about Bitcoin for the last year. I assume it has just kept going up, baby. Through the roof. Most people who work in cyber espionage or understand that world wouldn't probably want their money in Bitcoin. They'd probably want it through another much less traceable cyber currency because there's tons of them.
