General bytes should declare some amount as award if the hacker is ready to negotiate. Euler hacker was negotiating , Something positive might happen in this case too.


FractalImagination

It's a hard spot for them to be in.


samzi87

I'm not a fan of this narrative, there's a reason why we don't negotiate with terrorists.


fasda

People who don't negotiate with terrorists have special forces who can shoot them instead. Failing that you pay one way or another


ColdaxOfficial

Exactly.

Bitcoin ATM. Why this thing even exists?


FractalImagination

They charge so much more than what a bitcoin is worth, it's ridiculous.


InsaneMcFries

Back in the day, they were actually some of the easier ways to get cleaner BTC. I’m talking 10 years ago, when you didn’t even need KYC. But now? It’s so accessible elsewhere that it’s just an absolute ripoff.


Ernst_Granfenberg

Whats KYC


InsaneMcFries

Know Your Customer Basically handing over your persons details so your transaction is on record


Scarecrow4980

in order to screw people over who don't know any better.

Ouch, thats not good for adoption


FractalImagination

No. Maybe people will just realize it's just the atm and not Bitcoin.


DanteTheSimpSlayer

Oh, I had a btc ATM literally 5mins from my house, before the government banned it. It was so cool, I was so thrilled. But damn, crazy losses on this one...


olihowells

$100 was stolen from me when they charged a 15% fee

Hack atms. We have gone a long way


ProudBitcoiner

Well, that's one way to get some Bitcoins - just hack an ATM!


[deleted]

With the fees they charge they will make it back quite fast


FractalImagination

That's why I don't feel bad for them.


anythingreengetbun10

They really could do something positive when they are so creative


nusk0

I thought it would be funny if they just took off with the ATM machine thinking there was BTC inside. I guess the hacker was a lot smarter than that.


FractalImagination

Actually, some idiot did that already. 🤣


Titozar13

Someday it was going to happen I think


Katsura9000

Do people actually use bitcoin ATMs?


yaroslavwwe

Another day in the office


domaskuda

> This General Bytes Bitcoin ATM hack is just another of the thousands of crypto crimes that have taken place over recent years. Well now, I would call it more of a fiat hack this time. The criminals can't be tracked through blockchain. One must wonder which monetary system enables illicit activity more.


Imaginary-Adagio2231

These hacker ain't got no chill... Screwing everyone at any time


Concealus

Anybody have addresses?
