what ransom? he did not threaten them with anything; he's just annoyed now because he feels they didn't reward him sufficiently. not the same thing as trying to extort money out of them to reveal the vulnerability.
- nemothekid 13y agoIf I left my front door open one day, and you happened to find it, should I reward you for not stealing anything?
