Taiwan is interesting... it's the size of Maryland with a GDP the size of Sweden's. You'd think that means everyone there is rich, but it turns out there's just a shit ton of people living there.

Wow, I thought that you were kidding, but that is true. But it makes more sense when you take into account populations. Maryland 6.01 million, Sweden 9.80 million, and Taiwan 23.51 million.

Any estimates to how much money the attackers have made?

It has to be millions by now right?

Interestingly, out of the 3 bitcoin addresses that the hackers have been collecting the ransom fees in, only around 22.4 BTC has been collected, which translates to less than $40,000 USD.
