     On the industry front, a piece of malware called Chimera is spreading across the Internet. Its creators have adopted a "referral" program designed to further spread their malware.

     After Chimera infects the victim's computer, it first asks the victim to pay 2.4 Bitcoins (about $865) as a ransom within a specified time. If the ransom is not paid within the specified time, Chimera will threaten the victim and make the victim's information public online.

     At the same time, victims can also choose another way out, which is to visit an Internet address, copy the Chimera code, spread it to other potential victims, and get 50% of the ransom of another victim.

     The malware was first discovered in fake job applications and business plans circulated in Germany . There are signs that message boards used by victims to notify hackers that they have paid the ransom have returned to normal, suggesting the hackers may have gone into hiding, biding their time to launch a new attack.

     At 13:08 Beijing time on December 7, Bitcoin/USD was 387.45, Bitcoin/Euro was 357.72, and Bitcoin/ RMB was 2587.43.
