Hacking Going to Far?

A group by the name of Lords of Dharmaraja allegedly have hacked and have stolen sources codes from Symantec (computer security software). The group is trying to extort the company for at least $50,000. They say their intention was never to get money but to embarrass the company.Due to this attack Symantec have offered free upgrades to the newest software version, because the newest version is safe from this attack. The contact has been going through law enforcement, so that the law could track down the hackers. There is no official word that the hackers do in fact have the source code, but Symantec isn't taking any chances.
