How can I help you?
Victim
Hi there. We are a small charity organization. We help poor communities with food and medicine. Can we please talk about this?
Nightspire
Hello. Yes, we are online. Ransom demand is $85k in Bitcoin. We have all your donor lists and sensitive files.
Victim
$85k? That's completely impossible for us. We are a non-profit with a very limited budget.
Nightspire
We understand it's a charity. But we took real risk to get in. Payment or we start leaking data soon.
Victim
Leaking would hurt our donors badly. It would also harm the vulnerable people we support every day. Please think about that.
Nightspire
Ok, let's negotiate. Our minimum right now is $60k if you pay quickly.
Victim
Even $60k is way too much. It would force us to cancel programs and lay off staff who help kids.
Nightspire
Then tell me. What amount can your organization actually afford?
Victim
After talking to our board, the absolute maximum we can raise is $10k dollars from emergency appeals.
Nightspire
$10k is quite low for us. But since you're a charity, let's do a test first to build trust.
Victim
Thank you. We can send 3 sample files for decryption proof. Is that okay?
Nightspire
Yes. Upload them here. Maximum 10MB each, different file types please.
Victim
Uploading now.
Victim
I can't upload on this app.
Nightspire
Using gofile.io
Victim
Thanks. https://gofile.io/[redacted]
Nightspire
Files received. Wait a mins.
Nightspire
Decryption done. Here are your three files back, fully recovered and perfect.
Victim
Thank you so much. We opened them and everything looks correct. No damage at all.
Nightspire
Good proof. Because you're non-profit and cooperative, our special price now is $55k.
Victim
$55k is still very difficult. We're begging major donors just to reach anywhere close to that.
Victim
Honestly, the most we can realistically gather is 45,000 dollars without shutting down our core work.
Nightspire
45,000? That's pushing it very low after all this effort on our side.
Victim
Please understand. Every dollar we pay comes from people who donate to save lives. We have no more.
Victim
If you accept 45k, we promise to pay quickly and keep everything quiet. No police, no publicity.
Nightspire
...Alright. For charity reasons and fast payment, we accept 45,000 USD as final. We want only BTC.
Victim
Really? Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We'll start preparing the Bitcoin right away.
Nightspire
Here's the wallet address: bc1q[redacted]
Victim
Got it. We're converting emergency funds now. It should take about 4 to 6 hours.
Nightspire
Okay. We've paused the publication timer for you. Please don't delay too long.
Victim
Update: we're halfway through buying the BTC. Compliance checks are slowing us a bit.
Victim
Should be ready in another 2 hours or so. Thank you for your patience.
Nightspire
No problem. Just send the transaction hash here when it's sent.
Victim
Transaction is sent now! Here's the link: https://mempool.space/tx/[redacted]
Nightspire
Watching the blockchain. First confirmation coming in...
Nightspire
Funds fully received and safe on our end.
Nightspire
Sending you the recovery package right now.
Victim
https://gofile.io/[redacted] You can find help.txt.
Victim
Downloaded everything safely. Testing on one isolated computer first.
Victim
Test successful! The sample files decrypted perfectly. No issues.
Nightspire
Excellent. You can now run it on the rest of your systems.
Victim
Starting the full decryption process on our main servers now.
Victim
10% complete already. Seems to be going smoothly.
Nightspire
Keep us posted if anything unusual happens.
Victim
100% complete! All files are back and readable. Huge relief.
Nightspire
Fantastic news. Congratulations on the recovery.
Victim
We can't thank you enough. Our programs can continue without interruption.
Nightspire
We're deleting all your exfiltrated data permanently now.
Nightspire
Deletion complete. No copies remain on our systems.
Victim
Is that really final? No chance of leaks later?
Nightspire
Yes, completely gone. We keep our word on this.
Victim
That's such a weight off our shoulders. Thank you again.
Nightspire
You're welcome. Business concluded.
Victim
Because of this, children will get food and medicine tomorrow.
Nightspire
Glad to hear it. Stay secure from now on.
Victim
We will. Take care. Goodbye.
Nightspire
Goodbye. Good luck with your mission.
