~Although early versions of CryptoLocker included numerous payment options, the threat actors now only accept MoneyPak and Bitcoin. The Bitcoin option was originally marketed as the "most cheap option" [sic] for ransom payment based on the difference between the $300 USD ransom and the market rate of Bitcoins. .~

Cryptolocker Ransomware Makes a Bitcoin Wallet per Victim
If successful, it receives from the server a (presumably freshly-generated) public key and a corresponding Bitcoin address. These are added to the registry in registry keys of the form

In research for this article ZDnet traced four bitcoin addresses posted (and re-posted) in forums by multiple CryptoLocker victims, showing movement of 41,928 BTC between October 15 and December 18.

Based on the current Bitcoin value of $661, the malware ninjas have moved $27,780,000 through those four addresses alone - if CryptoLocker cashes out today.

Cryptolocker now use 1 address per infected pc.
From only 4 addresses they got 41,928 BTC, before starting using this new tactics.
So stop trolling please, you bring nothing to the forum.
