Not only that, but they paid them in Bitcoin which makes it that much harder to investigate/trace.

Isn't bitcoin completely traceable? Now they know the wallet ID of the hackers and can monitor the wallet and monitor any transactions to and from that wallet and any connected wallets.

Probably actually paid in Monero as it is untraceable.

yes, but that is assuming the hackers follow finacial laws and do not tumble the coins....guess what like all criminals...they dont care about laws. So they will tumble the coins and make them disappear.
