Law Firm Hackers Claim to Have Dirt on Donald Trump,
The cyber-extortionists who stole a trove of private data from entertainment law firm Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks now have a new target in their sights: President Donald Trump. In a blog post Thursday on the dark web viewed by Variety, the hacker collective that is holding thousands of the law firms documents hostage allegedly including private info on Lady Gaga, Madonna, Nicki Minaj, Bruce Springsteen, Mary J. Blige, Ella Mai, Christina Aguilera, and Mariah Carey said they were increasing their demands for payment to $42 million. Thats double their initial $21 million ask. The group is threatening to publicly release more data if theyre not paid within a week.
Trump will be the next subject of a data dump, the unidentified ransomware attackers claimed. The next person well be publishing is Donald Trump, the blog post said. Theres an election race going on, and we found a ton of dirty laundry on time. The hackers added, And to you voters, we can let you know that after such a publication, you certainly dont want to see him as president. Well, lets leave out the details. The deadline is one week.

News of the hack surfaced last week. The attack on the law firm whose client list spans music artists, actors and TV personalities, sports stars, and media and entertainment companies was carried out by a group called REvil, also known as Sodinokibi, according to New Zealand-based cybersecurity firm Emsisoft.

First, Im not on board with the methods. Both the hacking and the extortion.
Second, if ever anyone deserved it, Trump does
Third, a little sample would go a long way in lending some credibility
