Blockstream just set a major precedent by refusing to pay hackers ransom after getting hit.

Instead of folding, they're going full legal route:
→ Working with law enforcement
→ Coordinating with exchanges & service providers
→ Bringing in forensic experts to track the funds

This matters MORE now than ever. Protocols are holding institutional-level bags. Paying ransom = inviting more attacks.

The message? Exploit us, we hunt you down through legal channels. No negotiations.

This could reshape how the industry handles hacks going forward. No more quiet payouts in the shadows.
