Finnish security vendor F-Secure releases 34 pages of transcripts from the group chat used by the Spora ransomware family. The back-and-forth put a spotlight on the gang’s customer support chops, said a company security advisor. “We should be thankful that there are at least some practical barriers to purchase Bitcoins,” he wrote. The transcripts show the intertwining of Bitcoin and extortion malware, he says. The complete Spora transcripts can be found here. “Ruthless” was originally published by Computerworld.com.”]
