1. WHAT HAPPENED? <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Your company's network has been compromised by the HUNTERS INTERNATIONAL group.
All files are encrypted using a military-grade AES encryption algorithm.
A large amount of sensitive data was exfiltrated.
We usually download:
- Employees personal data: CVs, DL, SSN, PII, NDA contracts, etc.
- Financial information: documents, payrolls, bank statements, bills, transfers,
budgets, annual reports, etc.
- Customer data: contracts, PII, contacts, purchase agreements, etc.
- Confidential: source code, trade secrets, technology, blueprints, documents,
etc.
- Work files, databases, legal documents, corporate correspondence.
- Accounting data.
- Audit reports.
2. WHAT DO WE OFFER <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
To prevent exfiltrated data from being disclosed and to decrypt all the files
you need to make a payment. Contact us following the instructions:
1) Install and run “Tor Browser” from https://www.torproject.org/download/
2) Go to a dedicated website:

3) Log in using the credentials: [snip]:[snip]
3. WHAT IF NOT? <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
We have the most powerful data leak site on the Internet. There are a lot of
journalists, researchers and other hackers.

An incomplete list of risks you are facing in case of non-payment:
- Loss of customer trust and loyalty.
- Damage to the company's reputation.
- Legal consequences and compliance fines.
- Financial losses and costs associated with data recovery.
- Impact on competitive advantage and market share.
- Breach of data privacy regulations and laws.
- Disruption of business operations.
- Reduced employee morale and productivity.
- Potential for intellectual property theft.
- Loss of trade secrets and proprietary information.
4. KEEP IN MIND <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
- Do not try to decrypt using third-party software. You will damage the files.
- Do not report to the Police, FBI, etc. They don't care about your business.
They simply won't allow you to pay. As a result, you will lose everything.
- Do not hire a recovery company. They can't decrypt without the key.
They also don't care about your business. They believe that they are
good negotiators, but it is not. They usually fail. So speak for yourself.
- Do not reject to pay. Exfiltrated files will be disclosed right away.
