You need to pay this amount and we will give you decryptor for all your network, file tree on what we have downloaded from your network and wiping log of that information. You can choose not to pay and then your data will be published in the media with subsequent sale. If you will spend 3 days in silence we will start publushing the information.

If you delay the negotiations, on Monday we will release information about the fact of hacking your network. Further, if you do not understand this, we will publish part of the data to find a buyer for them.

We will also try to find a buyer for your data and access to your network if you refuse to pay.

Management is requesting more time to formulate an offer. Thank you for your patience
21/05/2021, 20:43:10

After many discussions with management, they have settled at $150K for the amount. This is based on the valuation of the information provided and other risk factors in the environment. Management hopes to settle quickly, can we agree
22/05/2021, 15:08:38
Your offer has been rejected. Make a more reasonable offer based on our offer.
22/05/2021, 15:49:04

150.000 and 1.500.000 why do you think we should agree to 1\10? Your proposal is not even close to what you can talk about and think about.

We are willing to negotiate to a fair settlement. What number can you offer?

Evaluate our steps. You can negotiate with us. But offering funny amounts is not the best way for you. It leads to publication.
