Well they mention Github artifacts in that message so it sounds like it's more like they may have obtained source code and that sort of non public stuff.

Usually what happens is that these sorts of blackmailers will leak small, verifiable pieces of data so people know they really got something. We don't see that here, so for now there's no reason to take them seriously yet.

This isn't ransomware. This is standard blackmail.

This is pretty pathetic for positive spin. It reminds me of Zap Brannigan: "You see, Killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them, until they reached their limit and shutdown. Kif, show them the medal I won."

I had a couple of Motorola phones back in the day. Most recently I had a Moto Z2 Force, which had a shatterproof screen. I really liked that because around then I had my first kid and kids cause accidents all the time. LOL

I can't remember, are conservatives for or against "cancel culture?"

Be aware that browsers saving passwords usually store them in some plain text or trivially decipherable format. So someone with physical access to your drive can steal all your passwords, basically.
