Luas website hacked - data ransom

In a terrible start to the year for Irish tram firm Luas, their site was compromised a week ago and adorned with a stark ransom warning:

You are hacked. Some time ago I wrote that you have serious security holes. You didn’t reply.
The next time someone talks to you, press the reply button.
You must pay one bitcoin in five days. Otherwise I will publish all data and send emails to your users.
As soon as the hack was announced, nervous customers wondered exactly what might be dumped into the ether should the ransom go unpaid. Names and addresses? Emails? Perhaps even payment data?
[...]
Our suspicion here is that nothing customer related was taken and it was all a ransom-themed bluff to either grab some Bitcoin cash or attention, or perhaps both. If you’ve used any Luas site for any type of registration or payment, you’re probably fine.
