  24. Message 024 From victim Victim Date

  25. Message 025 From victim Victim Date

    We were talking on the tox

  26. Message 026 From victim Victim Date

    Are you here????

  27. Message 027 From victim Victim Date

    Hello are you here?

  28. Message 028 From victim Victim Date

    Hello, I want to pay but don’t have what your asking

  29. Message 029 From dragonforce Actor / other Date

    Hello. You have not yet made a counteroffer to us. How much are you willing to pay?

  30. Message 030 From victim Victim Date

    15k

  31. Message 031 From dragonforce Actor / other Date

    I mean, what kind of serious offer are you ready to make? 15k this is not a serious conversation.

  32. Message 032 From victim Victim Date

    Again I don’t have 200k you saw what we have, you have seen it all, you know I’m not lying, there is no way that I can come up with such amount

  33. Message 033 From victim Victim Date

    We barely survive. We haven’t paid paychecks for two weeks you hacked the network you saw it all you saw all of our financials.

  34. Message 034 From victim Victim Date

    There is no way I can bring 200k not even remotely close to it

  35. Message 035 From dragonforce Actor / other Date

    The amount that you were told is 400k and not 200k

  36. Message 036 From victim Victim Date

    Ha?! 400k??? Sir there is no way on this planet that I can come up with such amount of cash, I cannot get near this number no matter how long this chat will be

  37. Message 037 From victim Victim Date

    If you’re locked on 400k then I’m out of options here, I’ll use old back and try to survive with them

  38. Message 038 From dragonforce Actor / other Date

    We have reviewed your network and studied your company. Based on this information, we have calculated the amount. If you would like to propose another amount, it should be reasonable, not $15k.

  39. Message 039 From victim Victim Date

    You’re kidding me right? If you seen it all and really studying our financials, you would never come up with such amount something that we don’t have access to no matter what we will do, All of our credit cards are maxed out and we are negative in all bank accounts you hacked our network you saw it all

  40. Message 040 From victim Victim Date

    We haven’t paid paychecks for 2 weeks due to Cash flow issues

  41. Message 041 From victim Victim Date

    So 400k I don’t have sir.

  42. Message 042 From dragonforce Actor / other Date

    Then you can offer another adequate amount and we will consider it. Not 15k.

  43. Message 043 From victim Victim Date

    Please tell me what’s your bottom line here

  44. Message 044 From dragonforce Actor / other Date

    Do you want to offer me a job?

  45. Message 045 From victim Victim Date

    What? Sir, I want to close this today, 15k that’s all I’m able to bring, you saw what we have you have seen it all

  46. Message 046 From dragonforce Actor / other Date

    Yes, we saw what you have, and based on this we said the price. My management wants us to publish an announcement of this incident and turn on the timer. Tell me the price that I can tell the management. Publishing an announcement creates a lot of problems, especially in such cases. We would like to resolve the issue through negotiations, without a public statement.

  47. Message 047 From victim Victim Date

    Posting the data will not bring 400k to the table you can post it now if you wish, this is most definitely not my concern, what your asking is something I cannot get close to, I don’t have access to the cash your asking, 15k is what I can offer 16k max

  48. Message 048 From dragonforce Actor / other Date

    Have you searched Google for information about us?

  49. Message 049 From victim Victim Date

    No idea who you guys are, and I really don’t care, I would like to close this today and go separate ways

  50. Message 050 From victim Victim Date

    I want to pay, but what your asking is not realistic

  51. Message 051 From dragonforce Actor / other Date

    Google it. There is a lot of information about us there. Publishing even an announcement on a blog attracts a lot of attention to the company. Government agencies and special services. We would like to help you avoid problems. We are even ready to reduce the cost to 350k.

  52. Message 052 From victim Victim Date

    Please publish the data. As I said it’s not an issue for me. Please do it now, this will not bring 350k to the table cash that I don’t have access to. I understand that this os your business but what your asking is not in my reality, I cannot even go loans all of our cards are 100% maxed out, you saw it all you hacked our network, you know I don’t lie, I don’t have access to the cash your asking

  53. Message 053 From victim Victim Date

    Please work with me and I’ll pay, but the amount your asking is out of my reach

  54. Message 054 From dragonforce Actor / other Date

    The amount you mention is also unrealistic. If you want to resolve the issue, name the real amount.

  55. Message 055 From victim Victim Date

    Sir, you have seen our situation, you have seen it all, I don’t have access to funds, 15k-16k is the max I can do, all of our accounts are 100% dry, I used all my savings to survive the covid, and since then our business went down drastically, I’m 2 weeks behind on payroll, you saw it all I don’t lie

  56. Message 056 From victim Victim Date

    No bank will give us a loan in our situation

  57. Message 057 From dragonforce Actor / other Date

    You can think about ways to solve this problem. You know what we require.

  58. Message 058 From victim Victim Date

    Please reduce the amount and I’ll pay, I will never be able to get to your numbers

  59. Message 059 From dragonforce Actor / other Date

    Tell me how much you can pay. Not 15k. We have already reduced it from 400k to 350k.

  60. Message 060 From victim Victim Date

    As I said 15-16k again I understand that’s your business but I’m sure you checked and saw our financials you saw it all! There is no way on this planet that I can get to your numbers 15-16k that’s all I can bring I don’t lie and you know it, we are in debt since Covid hit - we never recovered from it

  61. Message 061 From dragonforce Actor / other Date

    Covid was a long time ago. Now the world has changed and the situation in the world is already different. The amount you name does not correspond to your company. I suggest you Google it again, we have a certain strategy and we stick to it. There are articles confirming this. We will not settle for too small a sum. I think you're pretending you don't understand this.

  62. Message 062 From victim Victim Date

    100k

  63. Message 063 From victim Victim Date

    To close this today and now

  64. Message 064 From dragonforce Actor / other Date

    The wallet and the amount of BTC have been adjusted to make this payment.

  65. Message 065 From victim Victim Date

    This key will unlock all files and machines here?

  66. Message 066 From dragonforce Actor / other Date

    Yes. All.
