Same group who claimed to have Fulton County, Georgia data, pushed back the pay deadlines, but never released anything after Fulton County didn't pay the ransom. I don't doubt they have actually hit targets but that seed of doubt is planted.
Is that some calculus about risks? Ransoming data with a threat, might kind of make people shrug in the aftermath. Airing all of the dirty laundry might make authorities take a significantly harder look at you. Like those groups who apologize for hacking a hospital.
