Here you go

2025-04-16T21:05:12.829607Z

Thanks for sending over these files. I’ll need to have my team review them and get back to you. Since we lost some time getting set up in the new chat after the unauthorized access, is there any flexibility on the timer so we have a fair chance to finish our internal review?

2025-04-16T21:25:51.631249Z

timer extend until Tuesday

2025-04-16T22:00:10.117558Z

Thank you, we'll be in touch after our review of the files you provided.

2025-04-16T22:01:55.759644Z

Just let you know we need an offer from you at the end of the week

2025-04-16T22:04:10.979461Z

Also you can send 1 not important small file on test decrypt

2025-04-16T22:06:22.123334Z

Understood, we’ll review the files and provide a non-sensitive test file for decryption once we’ve coordinated with our team.

2025-04-16T22:10:00.6093Z

Okay

2025-04-16T22:10:29.763015Z

Okay, I have two locked files. I have no idea what files they are, but are from a folder that shouldn't have anything important. How do I give these to you to prove to me that you can fix them?

2025-04-17T20:53:12.898894Z

send it to this chat

2025-04-17T22:15:43.78941Z

Here you go

2025-04-18T08:10:09.473497Z

You check files?

2025-04-18T19:25:20.200134Z

Just got the files over to our team earlier today. With it being Friday afternoon and the Easter weekend coming up, a few key people are already offline. We likely won’t have full feedback until Monday. I’ll follow up as soon as we’ve got more to share. I really do appreciate your patience

2025-04-18T19:53:33.465304Z

Okay, we are here waiting

2025-04-18T20:15:41.280763Z

Are you able to explain why your price is so high? What exactly led you to think we could ever afford to pay this much? There must be a misunderstanding and I think it's important to clear it up so we can discuss this.

2025-04-21T18:48:07.516628Z

We don't conclude the amount from our heads, we calculate your estimated recovery costs, your revenues, and the costs of not recovering your systems. The price of 2,500,000 is fair enough, but we are here to negotiate, so we are willing to consider your reasonable offers.

2025-04-21T18:57:12.856937Z

We have several questions what we need answered to even be able to discuss that. We have a board meeting later this week for them to decide what to do. What exactly led you to decide on this price? I'm only trying to understand this from your perspective.

2025-04-21T19:06:12.648999Z

We have a separate department of data analysis, from there we get the amount with which we start a dialog, that's all I can tell you at the moment. I would also like to draw your attention to the timer, if it runs out I will not be able to help you.

2025-04-21T19:14:08.619597Z

we want to make a deal with you, and we give you a choice, to lose a lot by rejecting us, or to give a little and restore your work in the old way, preserving the important thing you have, namely your reputation.

2025-04-21T19:17:14.242197Z

I understand. We're looking for the best possible outcome here and appreciate your willingness to help s achieve that. I can see a timer, but that's not enough time, as I'm sure you know. There's a board meeting at the end of the week and they will discuss this then. Give us time to meet and get back to you. In the meantime, I have some additional questions for you that will help the board decide when they meet.

2025-04-21T19:28:42.946867Z

What questions?

2025-04-21T19:49:56.373903Z

and you need time until friday?

2025-04-21T19:50:19.235947Z

I have questions about trust and reliability. I'll ask those next. Yes, the board meeting is on Friday afternoon.

2025-04-21T19:58:48.246997Z

timer extend until friday

2025-04-21T20:00:10.461645Z

How could someone in our position trust you? Can you share any facts or figures to support your reliability?

2025-04-21T20:23:14.501407Z

And what other choice do you have, we've already shown you A that we have files, B we've shown you that we can decrypt encrypted files. This already proves the fact that we can help you, and now the question for you is from a business point of view, does it make sense for us to deceive you in any form? This is a rhetorical question.

2025-04-21T20:33:14.779309Z

Also we value our reputation and name

2025-04-21T20:36:53.710867Z

I understand your point, and I’m just trying to get a full understanding so I can present everything as accurate to leadership as I can. I know you’ve shown us that you have the data and can decrypt, that’s clear. But if you have any examples or data points around your reliability, that would really help support this internally.

2025-04-22T17:42:41.975202Z

We are synonymous with the word reliability, otherwise you would have found negative reviews about us a long time ago, we have been in business for over 2 years and have helped over hundreds of companies to recovery their documents. You made the right choice that wrote to us and cooperate with us.

2025-04-22T19:52:20.528165Z

Information about our reliability can be found in 2 places, A - google.com and B - at recovery companies that keep statistics (I strongly advise you not to spend money on them).

2025-04-22T19:54:41.954221Z

Thanks for your reply. I’ve shared your message with the team, and they’re continuing to review everything ahead of the board meeting. I’ll be back in touch once we’ve had more time to discuss things internally.

2025-04-23T18:49:50.920469Z

board meeting will on Friday?

2025-04-23T19:13:20.444361Z

Yes, that’s the plan. Everyone’s still preparing for it, and we’ll have a better idea of next steps once it wraps. I’ll be in touch after that

2025-04-23T19:52:49.315436Z

Okay, waiting

2025-04-23T22:09:07.736932Z

Wanted to touch base on our side. It seems we’re making progress with our internal discussions, but with tomorrow’s board meeting scheduled for the afternoon, it’s clear we won’t have a final decision until then. Given the timing, it looks like we might need a bit more time to make sure everything is aligned. Would it be possible to extend the timer until Monday? I’ll keep you updated as soon as we have more to share after the meeting, but I’m confident we can come to a resolution soon.

2025-04-24T21:21:51.740547Z

timer extend until Monday

2025-04-24T21:25:49.467387Z

Thank you for extending the timer until Monday. I’ll keep you informed after we’ve had a chance to meet and review everything.

2025-04-24T21:27:35.523236Z

Waiting good news tomorrow

2025-04-24T21:28:23.387397Z

Just a heads up, the timer is set to expire in the early hours of Monday morning, but as the team won't be online yet at that time, we'll need to ask for a brief extension until later in the day when we can resume discussions. I’ll update you as soon as everyone is available and we’re able to move forward.

2025-04-24T21:38:47.506258Z

timer updated

2025-04-24T21:54:01.296898Z

Thank you

2025-04-24T21:55:09.523214Z

Any news?

2025-04-28T11:54:11.833523Z

I understand this probably isn’t moving as fast as you were hoping and I'm sorry about that. After the board meeting, we've had to talk to our finance team, and there’s been some back-and-forth on their side, especially with the demand as high as it is. It's slowed things down more than we expected. We’re still moving forward, just at a slower pace than any of us would like. I’ll keep you updated as we work through it.

2025-04-28T20:57:51.587979Z

How much time do you need?

2025-04-28T21:44:17.520894Z

I understand you’re looking for a clearer timeline. Right now it’s hard to give an exact timeframe with the finance discussions still ongoing. We’re working to move things forward and I’ll keep you updated as we go.

2025-04-28T21:57:30.007367Z

give us an offer from your side and maybe we can come to an agreement

2025-04-28T22:02:08.504524Z

I understand. The challenge is that we still don't have final internal approval to even discuss numbers yet, finance is still working through their review process. Once I have more direction, I’ll be able to update you.

2025-04-28T22:10:37.684923Z

okay

2025-04-28T22:13:09.260156Z

Any news?

2025-04-29T21:15:36.20957Z

Since you ignoring us we starting upload your data to our blog

2025-05-01T18:28:17.054097Z

no more time will be added
