Hello, we found several of our systems encrypted with your ransomware. Can we talk about resolving this?
fog9/27/2024, 2:06:37 PM
hi
fog9/27/2024, 2:07:03 PM
I will give you details soon and we will talk

[provides a compressed RAR files list] this is what's been taken
Victim9/27/2024, 4:36:06 PM
We will need some time to take a look at this. In the mean time how would we get our systems decrypted?
fog9/27/2024, 10:14:03 PM
when you pay you receive decrypter to fix your systems
fog9/27/2024, 10:14:25 PM
I will tell you the price for decrypter soon
Victim9/29/2024, 7:12:47 PM
How much would the decrypter cost? Can you confirm that our files would be deleted from your servers and that you will not publish our name or share the data?
fog9/29/2024, 8:55:39 PM
yes I can confirm your files will be deleted and your name will not be published
fog9/29/2024, 8:56:09 PM
I will tell you price soon
fog10/1/2024, 11:24:46 AM
If you want your data fully decrypted and the files we stole removed from our source, you will have to pay a fee. We will also be able to provide a security report and explain how we did it to get in. The bosses are demanding $800,000 for said services.
fog10/2/2024, 12:47:10 PM
Do we work?
Victim10/2/2024, 3:17:22 PM
$800,000 is too high. We are looking to reach an agreement and can offer $150,000 to get this finished quickly.
fog10/2/2024, 3:47:34 PM
There's no way we're going to agree to that amount. I don't think we can even give you a $150,000 discount. our demand is more than reasonable in your case. I will talk to the bosses
fog10/2/2024, 8:15:53 PM
bosses agreed to take 715k for everything
Victim10/3/2024, 4:10:09 PM
How do we know the decrypter will work? Could you decrypt some files for us so we can be sure this will work on our systems
fog10/3/2024, 4:13:58 PM
yes
fog10/3/2024, 4:16:09 PM
give me a few

Victim10/5/2024, 1:54:06 PM
Thank you. Our business isn't doing as well as we used to and we don't have insurance to cover this. We can't afford anywhere near that amount. We would still like to resolve this, but it needs to be close to our previous offer
fog10/5/2024, 4:35:23 PM
I cant close the case at your previous offer
fog10/5/2024, 4:36:35 PM
you need to add something to your offer
Victim10/7/2024, 10:39:33 AM
Cash is really tight for us, we are doing all we can but can only raise our offer to $175,000.
fog10/7/2024, 11:30:12 AM
I talked to the bosses. $500,000 and we can end this today. I don't think that you will get any better deal
Victim10/8/2024, 3:27:22 PM
We simply cannot afford that. We have rebuilt most of our systems without the decrypter. Can we agree at $200,000 today?
fog10/8/2024, 4:09:59 PM
bosses agree to take 350k today
fog10/8/2024, 4:10:24 PM
this is the best bet price for the situation
fog10/8/2024, 4:10:51 PM
tell me when ready to make payment
fog10/8/2024, 10:09:49 PM
just take one last step, and we'll put this behind us.
fog10/8/2024, 10:14:01 PM
bosses can take one last step and decrease to 300k. the wallet is [redacted]
fog10/9/2024, 7:05:01 PM
hi
fog10/9/2024, 7:05:12 PM
are you leaving me?
fog10/9/2024, 7:06:14 PM
tell me should I wait the money today or what
fog10/10/2024, 11:40:41 AM
I need your decision guys.
fog10/10/2024, 11:40:56 AM
this week we have to close your case
Victim10/10/2024, 4:40:18 PM
We can't go that high, we can offer $225,000
fog10/10/2024, 6:42:18 PM
I can't take 225k
fog10/10/2024, 6:43:06 PM
confirm 250k to me and I will make my bosses take the offer 250k
fog10/10/2024, 6:43:25 PM
we can do that today only
fog10/11/2024, 12:00:52 PM
hello. what is your decision?
Victim10/11/2024, 2:52:25 PM
ok we will pay $250,0000, can you confirm you will provide a decrypter and you will delete all our data? We will need some time to arrange the payment
fog10/11/2024, 3:48:03 PM
I can confirm that you will receive the .exe files that you will need to run on your systems (win or esxi) to decrypt your files. We guarantee that you will be able to recover all the encrypted data. We will give you a deletion log file which means the files we stole .were removed from our source.
fog10/11/2024, 3:49:09 PM
Please let me know when the money has been sent
fog10/12/2024, 10:15:05 AM
hi
fog10/12/2024, 10:15:34 AM
can you tell me when are you going to make payment?
Victim10/14/2024, 6:36:15 PM
we are sending a small amount to check it works ok. Can you confirm when you receive it?
fog10/14/2024, 6:58:26 PM
yes send please
fog10/14/2024, 8:46:27 PM
I received 0.0001 btc. you can send the full amount now
Victim10/15/2024, 2:53:17 PM
we are arranging the bitcoin for the full amount and will let you know when we are making the payment
fog10/15/2024, 3:03:10 PM

Hi, we are working through recovering our systems but we cannot access our domain controller as you have changed the administrator password. Please could you tell us what the password for the domain administrator account was changed to?
fog10/21/2024, 9:56:03 AM
all domain admins passwords "gotochatplease"
Victim10/30/2024, 9:17:47 AM
Can you still provide us a report on how you got access into our network? Also can you confirm you have deleted all our data now?
fog10/30/2024, 10:07:59 AM
I will tell you soon
Victim11/4/2024, 9:10:19 AM
Do you have any update please?
fog11/4/2024, 10:14:29 AM
You data has been deleted. Access to your network was gained through a phishing mail. Your staff should be more vigilant when downloading and opening unfamiliar files. We recommend that you implement the following measures to protect your corporate network: 1) Enforce passwords on local and domain admins. Complicate group policy on passwords for all users; 2) Using the group "Protected users"; 3) Use centralised management of antivirus protection; 4) Inform users not to open suspicious emails and files; 5) Updating software and OS to current versions; 6) Set up permission delegations in the Active Directory; 7) Install an application to monitor activity in the Active Directory; 8) Use Vmware Esxi ver. 7.0 or more current. Our team guarantees that any data taken from your network will not be disclosed, sold or published. Of course, this dialogue will also remain confidential.
