    There’s no information of what was leaked besides ~5TB of data? And since they don’t intend to pay then they’ll just pretend nothing happened?

    Isn't 2 million euros a bit of a lowball demand for a city the size of Berlin? In any case, it's good they're not paying.

      That‘ll teach the bad guys! Pity about all those that will have their private data auctioned off.

      I‘m sure that the good guys will catch the badies in the nick of time to prevent a data auction.

      Just in time for a good game of tennis and a happy end. Thanks to Hollywood we have nothing to worry about.

      I‘m glad _they_‘re not paying and really looking forward to having my private data turn up somewhere I never intended due to _their_ incompetence. I’m sure _they_ can’t help it because of course _they_ aren’t at fault - it was the badies.

        It's no loss those from Berlin will be targeted. They get what they deserve.
