Recently they've threatened to carry out a major DDoS attack if they are not paid by a deadline which is approaching. They've performed an attack of a smaller magnitude to prove that they're serious.bear in mind that if you pay a ransom like this: 1. you're opening up a bank account for them to dip into whenever they feel they need more money.
Most of these types of service ransom deals are conducted via bitcoin. So I don’t see how this could be the case unless you mean to say that appeasing your attackers is a bad idea because they might just be emboldened enough to try and extort you again whenever the piggy bank is beginning to run dry.
