Unfortunately, such a database can be easily corrupted by fake material, but to counter this, Cable plans to study all submissions, and in the future plans to add a voting system for individuals so that reports can be flagged as fake. A former United States government cyber security researcher has launched a crowd-sourced ransomware payments tracking website that can be used to trace ransoms paid to criminals in the bitcoin cryptocurrency. In general, the site is very simple: it allows victims of ransomware attacks and security specialists to transfer copies of their ransom notes to Ransomwhere, as well as report the amount of the ransom and the bitcoin address to which the victims transferred the payment. Called Ransomwhere, the site was launched by Jack Cable who worked for the US government Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA). Then this address will be indexed in the public database. The main idea is to create a centralized system that tracks payments sent by hackers, which will allow them assessing the scale of their profits and operations more accurately, about which very little is known. The creator of the project hopes that the anonymous exchange of payment data through a third-party service, such as Ransomwhere, will remove some barriers in the information security community, such as nondisclosure agreements and business competition. #JACK CABLE KREBS RANSOMWHERE FOR FREE#. ![]()
