An unnerving but fascinating story. Jenny Kleeman reports on a data breach at a Finnish psychotherapy service, where clients were told that records from private sessions would be published on the internet with their names attached unless they transferred Bitcoin. 

The hacker was true to their word, with records published on a public forum. The series looks at the attempts to track down the hacker, but it also highlights how cybercriminality itself is evolving. It’s one of those stories that makes you go ‘God, I hope nothing like this happens to me.’
