Putting all extortion circumstances aside in the above story, 
The last thing it says is ...

"a fine of $250,000 for threats to damage computers"

I am curious to see what the current properity damage laws there 
as opposed to just threating to damage properity. Wouldn't threating
to damage computers fall under something like harrasment ?
