What I find interesting is how low of a ransom he is demanding, is it even worth the time spent hacking?

First time I've seen that, did not know there was a app for this forum, is it on the play store? Found it
In regards to the article, could be that the 2.4 he's asking is quite a bit in the country where he lives or he maybe thought that the chances of it getting paid will be higher if the ransom is not that high.
