Has anyone actually completed the three demands and gotten their data back? As the requests are so bizarre and I'm so cynical it seems more likely they just want you to do silly things after destroying your data.

If word gets out that fullfilling those requests does not get your data back, no one would do it after the first attempt.

For a no profit hack, honoring the promises would lead to funnier/more interesting situations.

Wouldn't an anti-ransomware group then hack some people, take their money, but not return the data, thereby undermining their real enemy, the ransomware groups?

>Since there are no known victims/ targets for the ransomware group, their Tactics, Techniques and Procedures remain unknown.
