agreed for the most part. "Foiled" is pretty much the wrong word here. Maybe "Detected and halted further loss..."

That's wrong too.

What they did was to allow komodo to, vigilante style, outright steal the coins, and hold them hostage until you entertain them with proof of ownership/identity and whatever other ridiculous requirements they come up with.

But it's npm and kleptocurrency. Nothing of value lost.
