    You have been infected by the Avaddon ransomware. To receive a general decryptor, you need to pay the amount indicated to you in the BTC on the landing page. After paying the ransom, you will receive a general decryptor that will decrypt absolutely all PCs and servers on your network. We will also provide you with a list of vulnerabilities in your network so that a similar situation does not happen to you in the future.

    I understand you, but the price is for the company. The company can afford to pay this amount. You yourself got yourself in a dead end when you wanted to pay from your pocket. Here we will not be able to help.

  31. Message 031 From Avaddon Actor / other Date

    If your company does not want to pay the amount, then they will have more problems than to dismiss you. And they need to think about damage and reputation.

  32. Message 032 From Avaddon Actor / other Date

    Talk to the boss and explain to him that he needs to pay a ransom if he wants to save time and not lose even more money for restoring the work order.

  58. Message 058 From Avaddon Actor / other Date

    Evidence that we have the files and we will publish them if you don’t find the money.

  59. Message 059 From Avaddon Actor / other Date

    Sir, it seems to us that you do not quite understand the seriousness of the situation by offering us such a small price. Before the price of $ 45,000 for your network was set, we carried out a detailed analysis of your company's income and financial statements. We know about your financial capabilities so the price offered we are not satisfied with you. We are ready to give you a discount and offer $ 30,000 this is the lowest price. The files that we showed you are just a drop in the ocean, in fact, we have about 10GB of data pulled from your network and this data includes finance and accounting, passports, credit card data, agreements and contracts, tax data of your company for the last few years, confidential documents, data on your clients and tens of thousands of other data. Imagine the scale of the leak of this data and what consequences it will entail, such as lawsuits and proceedings. Your reputation will be severely collapsed. Also, if we make a post about you on the blog, then a DDOS attack will fall on your site 24/7 and your site will simply be inaccessible to your customers. Most importantly, this is not all that awaits you in our arsenal there are many more tools and techniques with which we will harm you more and more every day. We are a serious threat to your company and we ask you to take us and our proposals seriously. Consider our proposed price of $ 30,000 and let's cooperate.

  60. Message 060 From Avaddon Actor / other Date
