Also, it may not make the costs to them more. Remember the amount of ransom is based on what the ransomers think the ransomees are willing to pay. Today, the reason it was 1.4 million instead of 2.8 million, is that they didn't think UCSF would pay the latter amount. So if they knew UCSF would have to pay double the amount of the ransom, they'd have to only ask for half as much.
