You have to respect the hustle to a certain extent, but yikes, these guys are sure to be made an example of.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. The victim is claiming there was no breach.

I wonder what the SEC will do if it turns out that it's just a stalling tactic. In the worst case, the ransomware gang will provide proof they provided the proof of the breach to the victim. At that point, I wonder what the SEC will do.

Whilst they presumably aren't going to get a whistleblowing award as they did the hack, I wonder if there's an opportunity to make money by scanning the darkweb for material being sold that's been hacked from public companies, seeing if its been reported and making a complaint if not.
