The Russian Mafia threatens the family of an uncooperative businessman.
It is the online equivalent of muscle men coming into your shop and saying: 'This looks like it will burn easily'. You would be surprised if companies didn't pay up. If the data services don't cooperate then they are simply killed.

The 'Organizatsia' has direct control of over fifty thousand legitimate businesses, banks, stock exchanges, joint ventures with Western corporations. Over fifty percent of all Russian capital is in the hands of the Mafia. Two-thirds of Soviet State property has been bought by Mafia groups or their straw men. And that is only what is on the surface, who knows what they are doing underground."
