Regarding this Coinbase ransom situation, two things:
1. Are people to actually think that if Coinbase (or whomever gets hacked) was to actually pay up the ransom, then the leaked information just goes away and doesn't wind up on the dark web anyway?
2. The hackers want $20 M? Reminds me of Dr. Evil requesting a million to not destroy the world.
