How do ransomware operators profit without leaving a traceable money trail?
Ransomware operators typically profit by demanding payment in cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin, which offers a level of anonymity compared to traditional banking transactions. Cryptocurrencies can be transferred without the need for personal identification, making it challenging to trace the money trail back to the perpetrators.
