42. Not the ones I have tangled with.

They wanted corporate charge card and other information for sale. Likely they were from some country where the law doesn't much care that they do this. We never figured out who they were, exactly, but we got a ransom note saying they would stop if we paid them. We didn't pay them, and shut them down by changing the systems to BSD/Apache - They just gave up trying to get in when we did that.
