    Thank you. We will take a look. I'm having a hard time getting into you Tor chat. It keeps timing out.

  13. Message 013 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    I and other companies have no complaints. try restarting TOR or using other links from the note

  14. Message 014 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    Hi, what's the news?

  15. Message 015 From Victim Victim Date

    My leadership assessing the value of the data. How much to keep it from being published?

  16. Message 016 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    1,500,000$ USD

  17. Message 017 From Victim Victim Date

    That seems a little excessive to me, but I'll pass it on to my leadership.

  18. Message 018 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    If you pay quickly, we'll give you a discount.

  19. Message 019 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    While we're negotiating we've paused the timer and hidden you from the blog

  20. Message 020 From Victim Victim Date

    What kind of discount?

    Ok

  24. Message 024 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    what news?

  25. Message 025 From Victim Victim Date

    Leadership is still evaluating the data and deciding on if it's important enough to pay you. How would we know for sure if you deleted all our data? Or not sold it?

  26. Message 026 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    We do not sell data, without publication. And most importantly - our reputation.

  27. Message 027 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    it's time to pay

  28. Message 028 From Victim Victim Date

    Considering the data you took it is not worth $1.5M to us, nor will you be able to sell the data for even a fraction of that amount on the dark web, what is the least amount you will consider for payment?

  29. Message 029 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    We are not talking about selling your data. we will put it on our blog for free for everyone if you do not pay. you are negotiating for a very long time, and this will not play into your hands. we know that you are specifically delaying negotiations so that we agree to a lower amount. on the contrary, if you pay quickly we can give you a discount for speed.

  30. Message 030 From Victim Victim Date

    What is the discount?

  31. Message 031 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    we are ready to give you a 30% discount on a quickly payment

  32. Message 032 From Victim Victim Date

    Our data is not worth $1M to you or us, but I'll take it to leadship because I'm just the messenger. It will be Monday before I will be able to get back to you. The leadership team will not be around this weekend.

  33. Message 033 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    I think you'll understand how much your data is worth after it's published. When you incur reputational losses, fines from the state, courts and others. You will lose even more money than we are asking for. For your company, with multimillion-dollar revenues, paying that amount and forgetting about it won't be a big deal. I'm sure your boss has much more money in his personal cryptocurrency account

  34. Message 034 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    when wiil you pay?
