    That's good. I wonder if they'd extort the company that manages the building I live in. If they did the most likely negative outcomes are that I'll receive worse service and pay more for my service charge. That's not too bad for me, but I have vulnerable neighbours for whom that may be a significant problem. There is so much collateral damaged created by this sort of attack against any company of sufficient size. It's easy to wave your hand and say they're a rich company they can afford it, but no company exists in isolation, they're all part of economies, and ultimately it's real people somewhere who take the damage.
