I’m a bit torn on that, honestly. Were this an embarrassing hack like the ones I read about as a teenager, I’d agree. However, they caused millions of pounds of damage to multiple companies (and their customers) and attempted to blackmail the CEO for profit.

I’d be amazed, and I think the public would be outraged, if they got a slap on the wrist for this.
