This is ridiculous. It set a totally wrong message. Converting a plain vanilla crime into a geeky challenge for whatsoever marketing purposes is a dead end. A blackmailer demanding a ransom is not a technological issue but a matter of FBI/ Interpol/ FSB/ you name it. A person behind Gpcode must be tracked down to face criminal charges. Apart from setting an example to future morons, it will give all the necessary keys at once.
