Show original
U.S. police are investigating a Bitcoin ransomware email related to Nancy Guthrie, the missing 84-year-old mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie. The email demands millions of dollars in Bitcoin and includes a deadline and threatening messages. The Pima County Sheriff's Office stated they are carefully reviewing leads and cooperating with the FBI, but have not yet confirmed the email's authenticity. Police have upgraded the case from a "missing elderly person" to a suspected kidnapping criminal case. The email contains a valid Bitcoin address and some details of the scene, but the possibility of fraud cannot be ruled out. (Decrypt)
