    Ugh, they’re not sure what the motivation is, but I can’t help but wonder if these hackers are Russian state actors or affiliated and want to do exactly that.

      In a message posted online Saturday, in both English and Russian, the hacking group called LockBit said the stolen documents “contain a lot of interesting things and Donald Trump’s court cases that could affect the upcoming US election.”

      Seems like it. I wouldn’t put it past them to fabricate documents that make it look like the prosecution is more malicious than it is.

              Close, it’s Return The Fucking Armadillo.

              That’s what the ransom is about. “I have a very particular set of skills: if you don’t return my fucking armadillo you’ll find out what they are.”

          Yes, but they are apparently already back up and running or were never really all that “down”.
