"Ransomwhere aims to fill that gap by tracking bitcoin transactions associated with ransomware groups. It's public, so anyone can view and download the data," Cable wrote on Twitter.

The researcher added: "Today, there's no comprehensive public data on the total number of ransomware payments. Without such data, we can't know the full impact of ransomware and whether taking certain actions changes the picture."Ĭable hopes the website will call attention to the size of the ransomware problem. JACK CABLE KREBS STAMOS RANSOMWHERE 32M PAGETECHCRUNCH FULL "As we consider policy proposals to change the state of ransomware economics, we will need data to assess whether these actions are successful. Ransomwhere can help fill that gap," Cable says. "Furthermore, this data may be of use on the law enforcement side: As we saw with the Colonial Pipeline hack, law enforcement does have the ability to recover some payments, so it would be great if Ransomwhere can further aid their efforts."Ĭable says he was inspired to create Ransomwhere by a tweet posted by Katie Nickels, director of intel at Red Canary, who on June 8 said the overall impact of cybercrime is essentially unknown. No one knows the real impact, so it's hard to know if actions change that impact or not.- Katie Nickels JTallying Up Payments Seriously, though, I think this is a huge part of the problem, especially around the ransomware ecosystem, but for cybercrime in general. Latest ransomware payment transactions as tracked by Ransomwhere The new Ransomwhere site includes data on total payments, latest transactions and latest reports of attacks. The site also lists payments by week, month and year. Overall, Netwalker, Ryuk, RagnarLocker, SynAck and REvil/Sodinokibi have received the most payments, according to the statistics posted to the site so far. Ransomware victims are not listed on the site, but Cable says he might eventually include this information. In the meantime, some payments can be traced to a specific attack. "While I am not currently connecting payments to specific attacks, I may in the future add links to publicly reported attacks," Cable says. The site lists information on 2,508 incidents, including the ransomware family, date of attack, bitcoin ransom paid, wallet address and hash. It also offers links to relevant news reports. The site depends primarily upon ransomware victims and cybersecurity pros to submit data, which is then collated with the ransomware gang associated with the demand and the bitcoin wallet the attacker supplied for payment so payments can be tracked once they have been made, Cable says.Yet another stake through the dark-patterned heart of consentless online tracking. Following a key cookie consent ruling by Europe’s top court last year, Germany’s Federal Court (BGH) has today handed down its own ‘Planet49’ decision - overturning an earlier appeal ruling when judges in a district court had allowed a pre-checked box to stand for consent. That clearly now won’t wash even in Germany, where there had been confusion over the interpretation of a local law which had suggested an opt-in for non-functional cookies might be legally valid in some scenarios. Instead, the federal court ruling aligns with last October’s CJEU decision (which we reported on in detail here). (Whereas EU law generally requires consent to be freely given and purpose limited if it’s to be legally valid.) The ‘Planet49’ legal challenge was originally lodged by vzbz, a German consumer rights organization, which had complained about a lottery website, Planet49, that - back in 2013 - had required users to consent to the storage of cookies in order to play a promotional game. In case brought by our member Court confirms companies which use #cookies to track consumers' behaviour need to ask for prior informed consent.
