Data can't be both publicly disclosed and deleted, lol.

I mean it can.

You'll just have to go and download your data again from the public disclosure (assuming they disclose all of it)

Ooh, they're offering free database hosting? Put me in touch.

Well seems like you tested it pretty good. You now know It's vulnerable.

Thats about $500 I think? Seems pretty low for the typical ransom approach.

Maybe they charge $150/row for their storage services :)

And that seems a bit high, considering how many rows could be in a production database. Could they be pricing on a log scale or something?
