  Note: The value of BTC dropped more than 10% in the past 8 hours, so the value of the ransom just became much more affordable than before, although it's still higher than the middle of May when Equifax claims the breach began.

    Just an aside, "ransom" is probably not the right word, since I presume they are not taking money to destroy or not release the data. They're selling the data to anyone, and probably will be happy to sell the same data many times over.

  Maybe by the time they get their 600 BTC and go to cash out they'll be able to buy a used motorcycle. Or else a small country. One never knows.
