That was truly horrible, despicable.

But I personally relate more to the horror the hacker put himself through:

> security experts soon discovered Ransom Man had mistakenly included an entire copy of their home folder

> “It was a huge opsec [operational security] fail, because they had a lot of stuff in there — including the user’s private SSH folder, and a lot of known hosts that we could take a very good look at,”

What a huge flop! I can recall feelings myself publishing things I shouldn't, but the entire home directory, including private keys and everything? I'd die of shame.

Still, really terrible behavior from him, he deserves whatever punishment is coming for him.

Thought the same. Ransom Man aka Incompetence Man.

He doesn't even know how to make his Reddit comments private.

Not the worst superpower to have, but it's up there.
