Hi Lockbit, this is [redacted] and saw the post and may we ask to get the directory listing of all the files that you have. May we ask for more time so we can inform our stakeholders for them to assess and consider our next move? Thank you for understanding.

Dear Lockbit, may we state that last year was the only time we were profitable and we only earned $200k. We have also notified the regulators and our clients as well as required by law since the encryption last January 25 caused a major outage. That said, we were able to restore operation with some backups, albeit with some data loss therefore decryption wont really be necessary. Please give as an amount that we can get back to our leaders to be considered.
2025-02-11 15:34:41
maybe we can lower the amount, but not by much.
2025-02-11 15:51:36

in the process of working with you, we thought about 100k.

Thank you for your consideration. 100k is still very steep for us as its half of our revenue which will be negated with the damage caused by the outage. May we respectfully ask to please significantly bring it down since we are only technically be requesting for the deletion of the data and we do understand that this is just business for you.

We understand, and we actually had a good year last year since thats the first time we were positive. But this incident wiped it off all away and will be spending more in recovery. Also, the directors are there just for name as a favor and add credibility which by the way is now in shambles, but they dont really contribute, otherwise they would have sent their army of IT to help us recover. I am looking at 10-20K to comeback to the heads and this will be coming from our own personal funds. While there will be some issues on publishing this, as we mentioned, we have already notified the clients and regulators about this breach.
2025-02-11 16:30:56
by the way, you downloaded your backup files, which will help you as well.

Thank you for your concern and consideration, yes this funds will not be coming from IT. But we only have one owner, as we are a small private company, and he will have to cover everything. We were unsure of the viber message, but here we are. We will come back to you if we can convince him to pay 50k as this is still big for one person.

Good day Lockbit, we have met and we have come up with our final offer of 30k. Please do consider that we are only asking for the deletion of the data as we have already notified the regulators and clients about the breach as mandated by law. So this is just to minimize exposure so we can concentrate in the restoration activities. Hoping for you kind consideration.
2025-02-12 08:30:58
you know, if we publish your data, you will lose more than 30k

Hi Lockbit, I\'ve talked to our heads and most of them are against of paying at all. We don\'t know much about your business and the heads are insistent that you would go against your word and sell the data nonetheless. We\'ve been transparent with our regulators and clients and have been working days and nights non-stop for restoration activities. And now, we just want to minimize the damage and hoping for peaceful restoration activities by deleting the data that you have.

The heads don\'t want to pay at all but I\'ve told them that you value your reputation as you said and have managed to convince them to pay 40k for the destruction of data. Kindly consider this offer.
2025-02-12 10:42:09
We keep our word! only one person and me has your files, after your payment 40k, they will be securely removed by the program [redacted]

Good day Lockbit,

We have finally acquired the funds and is now in the process of buying bitcoin. We are evaluating possible sources of bitcoins this week without KYC then it might take some time since we have to split the purchase under $8,000 to avoid being flagged. We\'ll give you our wallet address once we start purchasing so you could monitor then we\'ll do an initial test transfer to you after.

We could send you a picture for proof of our activities with your required instructions if needed. Thank you for understanding.
