The transaction perp is the ransomer, Twinspires is the victim and ransom payer. The price is what Twinspires (or any similar merchant) would pay to stop losing thousands per day in ACH banking regulation E losses .
Second... is it just coincidence that I post a ADW security Topic and a day or two later Twinspires is hit albeit seemingly minor. I/we do not know if the perp was a hacker which some of you assume. What I know is Twinspires has labeled the transaction fraudulent and my bank recovered my money Twinspires is out $1,900 currently I assume.
The situation is a mystery but online mercharts (alert TG) are at risk of fraudulent transaction seems a certainty. i.e two factor logins may help.
Oddest of all, my Twinspires account now has a $50 balance and I'm being encouraged to continue doing business and change my password regularly. Geez!
End of Story - I hope.
