Hackers apologize to Saudi Royal Family. Is Prince Salman the greatest gangster?

Apparently if you demonstrate you are willing to track people down and brutally assassinate them if they cross you is a really strong disincentive for criminal gangs to cross you.

This suggests to me that Erik Prince has an excellent opportunity to create a really solid anti- ransomware/exploiting type of company that only needs to hire enough of a Blue team to track down the origin of a client's attacker. :-)

That this is the level of evaluation on the part of these groups makes me sad.
