  24. Message 024 From Avaddon Actor / other Date

    The amount will be higher because we added 5% to the amount for protection in case of a rate jump. This is necessary so that after payment, the system will automatically give you a decryptor. If the payment amount will be lower than that required, the system will not issue decryptor.

  25. Message 025 From Victim Victim Date
