bear in mind that if you pay a ransom like this:

1. you're opening up a bank account for them to dip into whenever they feel
they need more money.

2. you're perpetuating the problem of ddos-or-ransom by turning it into a
viable business.

If you believe that someone who issues a ransom threat will stop if you pay
them off, you're smoking crack.
