> If you want to convince me this person is a menace to society, then talk about his behavior before being arrested. What did he do then? He's part of a hacker group who steals data and extorts companies for money. And he talks about how he can't wait to do more crime when he gets out of lockup. It's all there in the article. I know, crime against big companies isn't "real crime" as far as many are concerned, but these companies employ real people, and when they take a big financial hit due to cyber crime like this, it can affect peoples' jobs and livelihood. Because the companies will choose to keep paying the CEO a ridiculous sum while laying off lower-level employees to even out the cost of the ransom (if it's paid) or the financial loss caused from the data leakage (difficult to estimate, but a material loss nonetheless that the bean counters will have to account for). The article also mentioned how they stole from individuals' crypto wallets.
