Message 006 From Conti Actor / other Date As you already know - your network and all of your data were encrypted by CONTI team. Besides the encryption process we've downloaded a large pack of your internal documents and files that will be published in case our negotiations fail. How it happens can be seen on our website. The recovery price is $1700000 (45 BTC). If you want to make sure we can recover all of your data - you can send us the two files of your choice and we will decrypt them free of charge. If we reach mutual agreement your will be provided with decryption tool, none of your internal data will be published and you will be provided with security tips on how to avoid further breaches. We strongly recommend to review our offer in a timely manner to avoid additional expenses from your side on security software and on building the new network from scratch. The example data pack will be provided soon, which will include part of the file tree list and some actual data you can review.
