    Also, if you have any thoughts of refusing to pay 2023-02-21 07:16:07, we will publish the data that was stolen from your online storage. If you choose to use the backups you have, we will simply publish your company's financial documents. At the moment your documents are being processed in our TOR cloud storage, in about 2 weeks they will be available. For now, we can only report the volume of stolen data - 30 GB.

  23. Message 023 From Victim Victim Date

    We are recieving phone call because we are no communicating in chat. I this your team or am I communicating on the wrong channel? I have been tasked in finding out what country your group originates from and if there is any movement on the number you have given?

  24. Message 024 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    Yes the call was indeed made by us

  25. Message 025 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    We attack companies all over the world and speak virtually every language.

  26. Message 026 From Victim Victim Date

    I'm sure you do, but to which country is the money going when you get paid?

  27. Message 027 From Victim Victim Date

    Also, is there a movement on the 300,000

  28. Message 028 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    The payment is made in BTC cryptocurrency and you will never know about it. However, we can say that we are not political hackers, you just have weak security and we need money, that's all.

  30. Message 030 From Victim Victim Date

    300,000 is a lot of $$. Can that be reduced?

  31. Message 031 From Victim Victim Date

    On your feed, it says $500,000

  32. Message 032 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    If the documents that we have get into the public domain, believe me, this amount will seem insignificant because of the losses that can result from leak

  33. Message 033 From Victim Victim Date

    I will take that information back to them.

  34. Message 034 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    This is the price for your competitors, if someone wants to buy your company's internal documentation, we will sell it to them, but the sooner you pay the amount offered to you, the less likely it is that someone will use the information

  35. Message 035 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    If you want to keep your data from falling into the wrong hands or other organizations, you need to resolve the $300,000 ransom payment as soon as possible, and the data will be destroyed

  36. Message 036 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    And accordingly you get a decryptor for both versions of Lockbit 2.0 and 3.0 black
