Even though most Plex users have managed to reset their password to a more secure one, the hacker(s) still obtained a record of customer data.  At the time of publication, a user called “Savata” claims responsibility for this breach, and if a ransom – valued at US$2,400 or roughly 9.5 Bitcoin – is not paid, all of this information will be released through the torrent network.

What I find interesting is how low of a ransom he is demanding, is it even worth the time spent hacking?

First time I've seen that, did not know there was a app for this forum, is it on the play store? Found it

In regards to the article, could be that the 2.4 he's asking is quite a bit in the country where he lives or he maybe thought that the chances of it getting paid will be higher if the ransom is not that high.
