Interestingly, this isn’t the first time the teenager is suspected of fraudulent activities. In a recent investigation, the authorities confiscated 400 bitcoins from the young male; however, 300 bitcoins were returned.

NetWalker

Netwalker has gained popularity as a ransomware service, gaining access through phishing emails and manipulating users with the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Netwalker has been encrypting infected systems and holding user’s hostage.

Interestingly, notable cyber security platforms such as McAfee have traced over $25 million to NetWalker’s wallet addresses. Unfortunately, Netwalker stills stays at large and continues to scam organizations, companies, and governments worldwide.

The ransomware’s developers have further matured their bitcoin payment systems by transitioning to Segwit Addresses from traditional legacy wallets. Experts illustrate the shift to Segwit could indicate utilizing hardware wallets to store the latter of the Bitcoins.

China’s Rainy season

Although Miners have shown keen expectations for China’s monsoon seasons, as excessive rain has led to cheaper hydroelectricity, things have changed for the worse. Interestingly, this year’s monsoon season will prove different for the miners and mining farms who reportedly dominate over 65% of the global billion-dollar bitcoin mining industry.

Bitcoin’s mining difficulty has doubled in comparison to last year’s monsoon season. The mining difficulty also correlates with the block rewards halving. The inherent incentivization proves to be less motivating, especially when mining difficulty has soared to new heights and rewards decrease.

The cryptocurrency industry has faced many challenges over the year. Miners expected Bitcoin prices to skyrocket to over $20,000; however, that’s not the case. The recent pandemic affected Bitcoin prices in early March, causing forced liquidation and loss on a larger scale.

Bitcoin’s price remains similar to those of last year despite the difficulty being twice as hard. Miners’ revenue has decreased by over 70% in contrast to the previous year. Moreover, the rise of investment in bitcoin mining has led to the construction of mining facilities across China. Despite the challenges the Chinese mining industry faces, bullish trends continue to prevail with introducing attractive products.

The app gained popularity for enabling users to buy and sell on the platform without any additional fees. However, the app fell victim to a hack that cost them over $1.4 million in cryptocurrencies.

The Madrid based platform further admitted to not being able to reimburse its users with the stolen funds. However, the platforms did offer to refund users through their platform’s coin, 2GT.

Bitcoin’s Rally

Bitcoin surged over $12,000 on Luxembourg based exchanges on Sunday. However, the price later dropped to $10,500 within an hour. Although bitcoin price has jumped back to $11,300, over $1 Billion of Bitcoins were liquidated across various exchanges.

Crypto market data providers have illustrated that over 74,000 people were liquidated. The recent price rally has allowed retail traders to take up an interest in the crypto market.
