Re: GTA 5 source code leaks online

Such games are often not peer to peer, like the games of old. Releasing a server in a form that's somehow operable by a third party is not always easy.

1) Entity gets hacked 2) Hackers exfiltrate data from the target (this could be source code, database dumps, employee records, emails, or any combination of the above - basically anything that could be seen that has value to the company staying private. 3) Depending on the model used, the hackers either privately or publicly informs entity they have their data and unless a payment of X if made the data will get leake…
I don't understand how anyone would ever pay. There is nothing guaranteeing you the hackers actually destroy their copy of the data on payment, so they could just come back and ask you for another payment every few months. Or are we really supposed to believe these criminals would follow some sort of made up honor code?
Their business model wouldn't work if they did a double random. It's not an honor code but a common sense code.

They have an incentive to uphold their end, otherwise they will never be able to extort someone else in the future.

Aren't they all anonymous, though? So they could just change their name for the next operation. Maybe all these groups are already the same people behind the scenes.

The source should be released. Regardless of how "hard" it is to stand up (it's just a server, stop being ridiculous) the people will find a way.

You're missing the incentives. They /could/ change their name each operation, but then, as you note, the target would have reduced motivation to actually pay. By keeping their name, and keeping their word, customers are more likely to pay in the future, because there's a history of good faith transactions. And, of course, a group that is relying on their reputation like this must police their trademark and prevent other groups from abusing it.
