The hacker hacked and broke the Sacramento Regional Transit (SacRT) and demanded a ransom of 1 bitcoin (over $ 8,000).

The attack stopped the work of important programs necessary for the planning and organization of bus routes, as well as official transportation.

The strangest thing in this situation is that the attacker demanded to pay him only 1 bitcoin, after which he promised to stop the attacks and allow programmers to return the SacRT system to working condition.

"Hi, I can always attack your site. We are hackers, we can all. Pay us now, and we'll stop the attacks.. "For security reasons, SacRT had to stop accepting credit cards. Restoring all the functions of the system can take several days.

This hacker attack with confidence can be called non-standard. The amount declared by the attacker is simply insignificant in comparison with those that HBO, Wipro, and Equifax encountered in their time. Then the hackers demanded from $ 250,000 to $ 75 million. Perhaps the hacker just wanted to prove something by his act. But what exactly - will remain a secret for all.
