The way I read the article, the "worth millions" is the sum of the ransom demand.

The funny part is that the exploit is in the "smart" contract, ya know the thing that the blockchain keeps secure by forbidding any updates or patches.

Must be nice to be rich.

Plenty of us can't afford to order groceries to be delivered and Aldi sure doesn't accept Bitcoin.

Ever heard of instacart? They dont accept crypto, but you can buy their giftcards with crypto, order your aldi groceries, and go pick them up. Thats what i do anyway

And they charge a fee for it. Which is nice if you can afford it.

Not for pickup, they don't.
