#4I honestly expected the demand to be "Release GTA 6 soon or else we will". ...The fact that they're just demanding money is a little disappointing. ;-)

Yes, but GTA5 leaked a decade after its release. Rockstar didn't really suffer any significant damage from it.
If 6 leaks before release, though, that's a completely different story. I can imagine them actually paying a ransom if that happened.

Anyone familiar with "Snowflake" enough to say what sort of data was typically hosted there? Judging by the website and the lack of specifics about the data, I'm guessing it's less about assets, artifacts and stuff like that, and more about financial data and general/generic "business" stuff?

Many ransomware groups of today operate in the same way a legal tech startup would. It’s a large organization with clear goals, not just some guys fooling around. It’s a funny thought tho.

It's a database, but you could store basically any OLAP type things there, all your stuff for aggregate customer data for instance.
