These files were taken from your network prior to encryption. You can pick 2-3 random files up to 10 MB each from the list and we will upload them to this chat as a proof of possession. To prove that we can properly decrypt your data you can upload 2-3 encrypted files up to 10 MB each to our chat and we will upload decrypted copies back. We're looking through your financial papers to come up with a reasonable demand to you. We offer: 1) full decryption assistance; 2) evidence of data removal; 3) security report on vulnerabilities we found; 4) guarantees not to publish or sell your data; 5) guarantees not to attack you in the future.

That is a lot of money, even for us. We can not simply organize that much. We can organize and pay $40.000. How should we transfer?
We can't accept $40,000. The leadership is willing to accept $120,000 if you pay quickly. We can't consider 5 figure amounts, so let's save our time.

We can offer $100.000. Please tell us quickly the way for the transfer and how we get our decrypter?
$115,000 and we have a deal. Here is our BTC wallet ID for payment: [redacted]

After payment you will receive a decryptor for each of your systems and manual on how to use it for particular file/system. You will be able to restore your infrastructure within 24 hours. If you face any problems during decryption process, we will be here to support. You will receive a deletion log which means the raid drives that contained the only copy of your data are fully formatted and erased. You will receive a security report that includes information about how we were able to penetrate your network, as well as exclusive first-hand information about the state of your network, the vulnerabilities that we found. What's more, you'll receive high-quality technical recommendations on eliminating any vulnerabilities and strengthening your network to secure your internal and external infrastructure. You will also receive written guarantees that we will not sell or publish your data, keep this conversation private, and delete this chat later. We won't come back for more money after payment and we won't attack you again.

Ok. How will you send us the decrypter? We are also currently looking into setting up a wallet and pruchasing BTC. This is new territory for us, so itś taking some time. if you have any recommendations on how to do this quickly and securely, let us know.
We will upload unlockers to this chat.

We are sorry, but we are struggeling with issues at the bitpanda account. We spent the whole day setting up the wallet. It now also set up, but the transfer of the balance is still ongoing. We are not able to transfer money today. We will get back to you as soon as possible. You can be assured that it is our goal to complete everything with you as quickly as possible.
Standing by, thank you.

After we made the agreed payment, please also send us the security report of vulnerabilities. If we have any problems to reset the system, we`ll contact your support again. Please keep your promise!
Initial access to your network was purchased on the dark web. Then kerberoasting was carried out and we got passwords hashes. Then we just bruted these and got domain admin password. Spending weeks inside of your network we've managed to detect some fails we highly recommend to eliminate: 1. None of your employees should open suspicious emails, suspicious links or download any files, much less run them on their computer. 2. Use strong passwords, change them as often as possible (1-2 times per month at least). Passwords should not match or be repeated on different resources. 3. Install 2FA wherever possible. 4. Use the latest versions of operating systems, as they are less vulnerable to attacks. 5. Update all software versions. 6. Use antivirus solutions and traffic monitoring tools. 7. Create a jump host for your VPN. Use unique credentials on it that differ from domain one. 8. Use backup software with cloud storage which supports a token key. 9. Instruct your employees as often as possible about online safety precautions. The most vulnerable point is the human factor and the irresponsibility of your employees, system administrators, etc. We guarantee that we will not sell or publish your data, keep this conversation private, and delete this chat later. We won't come back for more money after payment and we won't attack you again. We wish you safety, calmness and lots of benefits in the future. Thank you for working with us and your careful attitude to your security.
