Caesars Entertainment confirms ransom payment, customer data theft ( www.bleepingcomputer.com )

Caesars’ 8-K also implies that a ransom demanded by the attackers was paid to prevent the leak of the stolen data online—a Wall Street Journal report says the hotel and casino entertainment company paid roughly $15 million, half of the attackers’ initial $30 million demand.

What do you mean? They got half what they wanted, and any number above 0 is profit for them.
