True. However, reading between the lines, the exfiltration "project" was targeted (i.e. one-off), skilled and long. I would put the cost anywhere between 1 megabuck and 10 megabucks. Given risks and dubious monetization, I would assume the "sponsor" demands at least a 10x ROI.

How about psychiatric data from the area around Washington DC? Hospitals/practices that are frequented by New York CEO-types? I can picture that being quite valuable to the right parties.
