It's going to be fun when ransomware strikes a cryptocurrency. Some of the software this grift is built on is not at NASA avionics level of correctness, and there sure is a lot of money for the taking.

The nice thing is that cryptocurrency malware is self-ransoming! There’s plenty already in circulation that detects and siphons wallets and transactions. Most of these are simple copy-paste exploits that replace anything that looks like an address with the exploit wallet.

Yeah, that's very true! For me an interesting twist will be when the people who attack these wallets want to get paid by some alternate method and have to resort to more classic techniques.
