We followed your note here. For steps 1 and 2, how do we get the list of files and how to do the test decrypt?

Hello. Here is the list of files we have. You can upload 1–3 small files to the chat and we will perform a test decryption. These files should not contain any critically sensitive information.

Here are your files after decryption. I’m sure you’ve already checked the references. We’ve been working for a long time, and the process is fine tuned and reliable.

This may be a fine tuned machine for you, but please understand our caution since this is the first time for us. We appreciate you sending these back and will need to meet internally to discuss before we get back to you.

We understand your concerns. Rest assured, you won’t encounter any technical issues when decrypting the files. The encryption-decryption mechanism has been tested repeatedly, and currently there’s no way for any other company to decrypt the files we encrypted. We often hear similar promises, but they’re simply not possible. When the timer expires, we’ll permanently delete the decryption keys, making the files impossible to unlock - no matter the cost. We’re sharing this so you can make an informed decision.

We're still reviewing the list you sent but should have the 3 files selected from it soon. We will let you know once we have them.
2026-02-25T23:16:05.811134Z
We understand you. Remember that the files should be small in size, we will not return any large database in its entirety. And don't forget about the timer.
