    [Chat started]

  2. Message 002 From Victim Victim Date

    How much is it to decrypt my files

  3. Message 003 From Victim Victim Date

    Hello?

  4. Message 004 From Victim Victim Date

    I was just checking to see how to get my files back

  5. Message 005 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    All operators are busy at the moment, please wait for an answer.

  6. Message 006 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    Hello

  7. Message 007 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    To decrypt your files and prevent us of destructive actions against your company you will need to pay $120 000. We also have all your files.

  8. Message 008 From Victim Victim Date

    One hundred and twenty thousand dollars?

  9. Message 009 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    yes

  10. Message 010 From Victim Victim Date

    There is no way my customer can pay that. That is an insurmountable ammount of money.

  11. Message 011 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    We take into account your profits and the amount of work needed to encrypt your information, that's how the sum is calculated.

  12. Message 012 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    What would you like to offer me?

  13. Message 013 From Victim Victim Date

    Anymore than 8,000usd would bankrupt my company, and then I would lose everything anyway.

  14. Message 014 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    Well, this isn't true. Even by public official data about your revenue it's obvious that you are capable of paying 120,000$. You may make your own offer about the price but it shouldn't differ from mine by a large sum.

  15. Message 015 From Victim Victim Date

    Well I have some good news. There was a backup we found that you did not get to. So we will not need your services.

  16. Message 016 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    We will sell your files.

  17. Message 017 From Victim Victim Date

    You do not have my files

  18. Message 018 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    Why are you telling me this information about another backup copy?

  19. Message 019 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    You didn't even ask for proof about the files we have acquired. The information about an attack on your company will spread like wildfire on the Internet when we publish it. You will most likely pay a fine bigger than the sum we are asking for.

  20. Message 020 From Victim Victim Date

    If you have the files then prove it.

  21. Message 021 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    Ok. It will take some time. I will send you a list of files soon

  22. Message 022 From Victim Victim Date

    a list a files is not proof of anything.. that just means you Looked at the files. the connection my customer has is complete crap and no way you transffered that many files off of their server... Proof would be showing me screen shots of the files you have

  23. Message 023 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    Good. I will send you screenshots of several files.
