As it happens, our website has received the following inquiry. This constitutes threats and intimidation, but such actions often backfire. If one is truly reduced to beggary, begging might still elicit others' pity and charity.
We'd like to first kindly remind the sender of this inquiry: our website is merely a component of our company's business presentation. Many years ago, we operated without a website at all, conducting business successfully through face-to-face visits and offline negotiations. For us, even if we were to shut down all our websites and wipe our servers clean now, it would make no difference whatsoever. Our online presence simply serves to facilitate some international clients — our goal is to provide them convenience, not to profit off them. Even without international buyers, it would be like having one less side dish at dinner, making no real difference.
Below is the content of your inquiry. The reason we're publishing it here is in hopes you'll turn over a new leaf; moreover, your threats have absolutely no effect on us, as stated above.

Under Chinese law, unauthorized access to private computer data constitutes a criminal offense. Article 285 of China's Criminal Code stipulates:
Serious violations: ≤3 years imprisonment/criminal detention + fines
Aggravated cases: 3-7 years imprisonment + mandatory fines
International jurisdictions impose comparable penalties for such cybercrimes. The fleeting gains from hacking never justify the heavy legal repercussions that follow.
Unlike physical world interactions, every digital footprint leaves indelible traces. What hackers perceive as "untraceable" operations are actually more transparent than real-life activities—like the proverbial ostrich hiding its head in sand.
Society extends underserved grace to offenders by withholding public exposure of their identities. Victims demonstrate remarkable restraint, choosing rehabilitation over retribution. True benevolence manifests in this extraordinary capacity for forgiveness.
Human life lasts only a few short decades. In these limited years, one should dedicate themselves to meaningful endeavors, because good deeds beget good karma, while bad deeds invite retribution. Launching war against a nation will bring retaliatory missiles in return. Directing anger at a person will evoke curses and fury rather than smiles. Therefore, if you wish for a prosperous life and a splendid future, you must extend kindness to others rather than harm them.
