June 13, 2017

On May 25th, Doug Austin of CloudNine featured the Ride the Lightning (RTL) blog post “Yes, You Can Get Bitcoins from an ATM” in his own post. His blog post, “Where Does One Find Bitcoin to Pay the Hacker When Your Computer is Locked? An ATM, Of Course!: Cybersecurity Trends” is featured in CloudNine’s eDiscovery Daily Blog. CloudNine is a legal intelligence technology company with deep expertise in the analysis, processing, and review of electronically stored information (ESI). Ride the Lightning is an electronic evidence and cybersecurity blog by Sensei’s Sharon Nelson.
Excerpt: Needless to say, cybersecurity and its challenges have become even more of a hot topic than ever, with ransomware stories becoming more prevalent (here are two stories we’ve covered in just the last two weeks).  If you want to learn more about how to prevent ransomware attacks, read below.  Regardless, based on a recent article, the currency used to pay those hackers their ransom is easier to come by than ever.

In the Ride the Lightning blog (Yes, You Can Get Bitcoins from an ATM), Sharon Nelson notes that she discovered a Bitcoin ATM in her local Shell station, which came with a sheet of instructions (replicated on her company site here).  The sheet of instructions includes a list of other places where you can find Bitcoin ATMs in the D.C. Metro area including other gas stations, two laundromats and a falafel shop.  Sharon took a photo of the ATM, which is displayed in her blog via the link above.
