Comment on Berlin is being blackmailed by hackers

Comments

Isn't 2 million euros a bit of a lowball demand for a city the size of Berlin? In any case, it's good they're not paying.

That‘ll teach the bad guys! Pity about all those that will have their private data auctioned off.

I‘m sure that the good guys will catch the badies in the nick of time to prevent a data auction.

Just in time for a good game of tennis and a happy end. Thanks to Hollywood we have nothing to worry about.

I‘m glad _they_‘re not paying and really looking forward to having my private data turn up somewhere I never intended due to _their_ incompetence. I’m sure _they_ can’t help it because of course _they_ aren’t at fault - it was the badies.

I'd rather they not pay and my data gets leaked along with everybody else's, than for them to pay and give incentives for future blackmail.

Not like Berlin could have paid anyway.
