This reminds me of the OK city manager threatening Centos developer - https://www.theregister.com/2006/03/24/tuttle_centos/
Although in that case the city was not actually hacked. It looks like this person actually got hacked by someone using curl and he is complaining that curl made it possible. I wonder if he knows anything about the people who wrote the actual exploit(s).
A bit like the time the scientology lawyers were desperate to find out who was running that server at 127.0.0.1 that had all their files on it, and really really wanted to find the person who was using the 'majordomo" login so that they could depose them
I read the transcript of that incident - that was some elaborate joke explaining.
Woah, that should have been reported to the FBI as extortion. Through the (interstate) threat to report a crime falsely to the FBI, the extortioner successfully extracted a valuable service, viz. tech support, from the victim.
