This is the full list of your taken data. You can choose any 3 file names from list and I will send them to you, like a proof. But these files must not contain the important information.

They asked me today if you will give us some kind of proof when you delete the files? Also, they asked what is the method to pay you? Is it wire transfer? They will have a meeting tomorrow with the executives, so they are asking these questions. Thank you.

23:19

After deleting files, we will send you a full deletion log. As for the payment, - we accept the payment in cryptocurrency bitcoin.

Okay, thank you. They have another question about the payment. When you said $700,000, did you mean Canadian dollars? They just want to be sure since our company in in Canada, not in the USA.

16:42

No, we mean US Dollars.

Okay. Our executives have analyzed everything with the information you provided. They told me to tell you that they can agree to pay $250,000 US dollars within 24 hours if you can accept that amount.

04:57

No, we don't agree. Our price is $700,000 ,but we can give you 20% discount if you pay during 48 hours. If you don't pay for this time, then the price will become initial.

Hello. Our company leadership has been working to meet your demand. We are now able to pay you $500,000 US dollars, but we have to pay a lot of money for the conversion from Canadian dollars to US dollars. We also checked on how to send the payment and we have to pay a large fee for sending the bitcoin.

Can you please accept the payment as $500,000 US dollars? That way, we still have some money to pay the fees for conversion and for the bitcoin? Thank you.

Also, if you accept this, please send us the wallet address for the bitcoin payment. We already have the company to send the payment but they asked us for the bitcoin address. Thank you.

01:52

Hello. We have everything ready to send the payment to you now, but our executives would like to send a small payment first so you can verify that you received it. Then, we can send the rest. They are just nervous about using bitcoin for the first time.

Thank you. the decryption is working on our test files. Is it possible for you to tell us which employee opened the attachment file in the email? either the employee name or the name of the computer? That would help us very much. Thank you again.
