Wow…Hacker Lebih Pilih Uang Kripto Ketimbang Bitcoin? | OBROLANBISNIS.com — Bitcoin ditemukan oleh Satoshi Nakamoto. Dia adalah sosok misterius yang pada tahun 2008 melahirkan Bitcoin, namun dia merilis Bitcoin sebagai perangkat lunak sumber terbuka pada awal tahun 2009.
Bitcoin sendiri jumlah terbatas di seluruh dunia, totalnya hanya ada 21 juta keping. Dalam dunia Bitcoin, ada dua jenis pengguna, yaitu sebagai trader dan miners. Trader adalah orang yang membeli dan menjual Bitcoin, bentuk kegiatannya macam jual aset seperti emas dkk saja.
Sementara miners adalah orang yang menjalankan server Bitcoin dan bertugas memverifikasi transaksi Bitcoin. Kemudian mereka akan mendapatkan imbalan Bitcoin dan alternative coin (altcoin).
Bitcoin dan mata uang kripto lainnya, bentuknya didasarkan pada blockchain yang berisi buku besar publik dari semua transaksi di jaringan Bitcoin. Jadi meski bentuknya seperti aset, Bitcoin tidak memiliki bentuk fisik.
Bahkan, awal tahun ini, Bitcoin jadi bahan perbincangan. Bagaimana tidak, 2021 baru berjalan dua bulan Bitcoin justru sudah mencetak rekor harganya berkali-kali.
Nah, meski sempat melejit, namun beberapa hari belakangan ini Bitcoin kayaknya kalah saing dengan Kripto. Pun demikian keunggulan Kripto hanya sebatas pelaku tindak kriminal. Seperti terungkap, sejumlah pelaku kejahatan siber mulai beralih dari Bitcoin ke mata uang kripto lain seperti Monero. Mungkin kejadian Colonial Pipeline jadi peringatan bagi mereka.

FBI berhasil membobol dompet kripto yang dimiliki peretas Colonial Pipeline. Caranya dengan mengikuti jenjang uang Bitcoin di Blockhain. Hal ini jelas meminta transaksi dalam cryptocurrency tak sepenuhnya membuat mereka terlindungi dari pengawasan.
Salah satu prinsip Bitcoin adalah buku besar Publik-nya menyimpan semua transaksi token dalam riwayat transaksi dan bisa dilihat semua orang. Itulah mengapa lebih banyak peretas beralih ke jenis koin lain seperti Dash, Zcash dan Monero yang memiliki anonimitas tambahan di dalamnya.
Kabarnya Monero makin menjadi pilihan mata uang kripto bagi penjahat ransomware paling top di dunia.
“Penjahat yang lebih cerdas menggunakan Monero,” kata Kepala Petugas Keamanan Informasi di Digital Shadows, Rick Holland seperti dilansir CNBC Indonesia, Senin, 14 Juni 2021. ***
Wow…Hackers Prefer Crypto Money Than Bitcoin? | OBROLANBISNIS.com — Bitcoin was discovered by Satoshi Nakamoto. He is a mysterious figure who in 2008 gave birth to Bitcoin, but he released Bitcoin as open source software in early 2009.
Bitcoin itself is limited in number worldwide, in total there are only 21 million pieces. In the world of Bitcoin, there are two types of users, namely as traders and miners. Traders are people who buy and sell Bitcoin, the form of activity is like selling assets such as gold and others.
While miners are people who run Bitcoin servers and are tasked with verifying Bitcoin transactions. Then they will get rewarded with Bitcoin and alternative coins (altcoins).
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, its form is based on a blockchain which contains a public ledger of all transactions on the Bitcoin network. So even though it looks like an asset, Bitcoin does not have a physical form.
In fact, earlier this year, Bitcoin became the subject of conversation. How not, 2021 has only been running for two months, Bitcoin has actually set record prices many times.
Well, even though it has skyrocketed, in the last few days Bitcoin seems to have lost its competitiveness with Crypto. Even so, the advantage of Crypto is only limited to criminals. As revealed, a number of cybercriminals are starting to switch from Bitcoin to other cryptocurrencies such as Monero. Maybe the Colonial Pipeline was a warning to them.
The FBI managed to break into a crypto wallet owned by hacker Colonial Pipeline. You do this by following the Bitcoin money ladder on Blockchain. It is clear that asking transactions in cryptocurrencies does not completely protect them from scrutiny.
One of the principles of Bitcoin is that its Public ledger stores all token transactions in the transaction history and is visible to all. That is why more hackers are turning to other types of coins like Dash, Zcash and Monero which have added anonymity in them.
Reportedly Monero is increasingly becoming the cryptocurrency of choice for the world’s top ransomware criminals.
“Smarter criminals use Monero,” said Rick Holland, Chief Information Security Officer at Digital Shadows, as reported by CNBC Indonesia, Monday, June 14, 2021. ***
