Support: Price for you is 74btc. You need to pay this amount and we will give you decrypt tool for all your machines, security report on how you were hacked, file tree on what we have downloaded from your network and wiping log of that information. Take into consideration that we have downloaded a lot of data from your network that in case of not payment will be published on public news website and sold on the black-markets. We remove it after payment and wiping log is provided as well. To start a business we offer you to make payment in two stages. What amount you can pay today?

Support: We could give you discount if you pay shortly. Also you should remember that we own all corporate data, including personal info of the employees, clients data, emails chats and etc. If you do not pay us, we will start to publish and sell that data. Think about your reputation.

Support: We think that you are not completely aware of the seriousness of the situation. In the event of a further delay, we will be able to use information resource https://continews.best and will start to sell you private data on the black markets. We will publish the full dump of your data on our news website with 1,000 visitors per day, 50% of them are mass media reporters and regulators, the other part is blackhat hackers. We are not interested in this, and we gain nothing from data publication, that is why we are offer you a deal. 1) your clients data will be used by criminals 2) your clients will fill lawsuit against you 3) government regulators will fine you for data breach, if you have in clients at least one EU resident then you will be also fined by EU government by GDPR law with millions of dollars of fine or permit ban for working with EU citizents. US has the similar laws, but they are not so costly, however the total cost will exceed the asked amount from you, so our offer is the best deal for you to resolve this issue.

Support: Look to the leaked info https://continews.best so you understand how full dump looks like and you could estimate your losses carefully, we have more 7 big companies waiting in queue to be published, do not get traped into this list. We need your decision today or you will be published.

Support: Well we start to publish your data. Here is the web link: https://continews.best/[redacted] If you want to stop that process you have last chance for that. Otherwise the most valuable part of info will be sold on the black markets and the the rest will be published. Private data of your employees and clients is under the risk, you have to think about it.
