That's some cheap-ass pentesting. Here you go buddy! (j/k)

To explain the joke... companies spend tens of thousands doing "pentesting" to stave off vectors for concerted attacks. In this case, they would be spending tens of thousands to prevent the...$500 being extorted. My joke is that it is just as easy to pay the guy $500 for finding the errors. It's just a joke, though. You shouldn't pay extortionists a dime. (Even if that's all they ask for.)



There is some logic of burying wallet.dat files in various places in your systems and monitoring them. If/when they go missing, you know you have a problem.

Possibly set-up a periodic cycling system that drives the intruder to move them now, before they get cycled and might lose their bounty forever.
