FBI nab cyber-extortionist who sought $3 million from NY insurance firm (ZDNet)

Wow, here we were thinking that cybercriminals were super sophisticated, high-tech masterminds. Then along comes this fella with a scheme to extort hundreds of thousands of dollars from a New York (unnamed) insurance company. Check out the highlights of his "ransom" note, with such lines as, "My demand is now for $198,303.88. This amount is NOT negotiable, you had your chance to make me an offer, now I call the shots."
