Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

domain squatter demanding ransom. I've been dealing with this for about 3 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but did not get a clear answer.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?
