The website of Dublin’s Luas.ie, the tram rail system operator in Dublin, Ireland, has been taken offline today after a ransom note was posted on its homepage. The note demanded payment of one bitcoin (currently $3,845) in five days, to prevent the publishing of customer data. The company did not offer any details about the incident, at first blaming “an ongoing issue”” for the trouble and saying that technicians were working to fix it. Luas is unlikely to pay the ransom as the bitcoin wallet provided by the attacker is still empty.”
