Be careful who you mess with! An attacker realized he targeted the wrong victim when the victim decided to spend $20,000 to find him.
Roger Ver, the man known as Bitcoin Jesus, who is an investor in several Bitcoin startups, has announced a reward of approximately $20,000 for information leading to the arrest of the hackers who took over his personal Hotmail account and threatened to ruin his life.
It all started when the hacker managed to hack into Roger's old Hotmail account by answering the security questions.
According to Reddit, the attacker used the hotmail account to gain access to Roger's old Facebook account and one of his accounts at register.com. The attacker tried to compromise his primary email account and domain name.
The attacker, using the name 'savaged', contacted Roger via Skype and demanded "$20,000".
The hacker also claimed to be the one who hacked the @UberFacts twitter account which has 6.7 million followers.
But, Roger decided to follow a technique used in the movie 'Ransom': Instead of giving the money to the criminals, he offered a reward for identifying the hacker.
