Alphv ransomware group claims to have hacked Reddit, threatens to leak data unless money paid and API changes reverted - Feddit

Ransomware operators are scum and should not be trusted, let alone paid.

Yup. They absolutely shouldn't pay, for decision theoretic reasons, but that doesn't mean there won't be interesting fireworks to watch.
I'll be real curious if they have browsing data or subs tied to email addresses. How many .gov emails are subbed to nothing but fetish and porn subreddits?
