Here are the files. Are you ready to proceed with payment?

Thank you, I will pass the files on to my management team to review and get back to you soon.

Ready to move to payment?

What have you decided?

We have a meeting scheduled with our full board of directors to discuss payment. Can you please tell us what each of your services cost so that we can bring this information to them to review?

Decryption tool $190,000; Data deletion and guarantees $100,000; Security report $20,000. Let us know asap. We cannot wait forever.

Decisions?

This is very helpful, thank you, we are discussing with the management, we will get back to you asap

Provide your decision today.

You have 24 hours to give us your decision regarding this deal. If you stay silent, we will announce the breach on our blog.

Thank you for your patience and for working with us. Our management wants to move forward with payment for data deletion, guarantees, and the security report. They have a final meeting scheduled tomorrow morning to discuss financing, and we will provide you with an offer right after. Could you also let us know what the security report contains? This information will support our decision-making process. We also request that you only use this chat to communicate with us and to please refrain from reaching out to our employees directly. We want to make a deal and I assure you, you have our full attention.

The report includes information about how we were able to penetrate your network, as well as first-hand information about the state of your network, the vulnerabilities that we found. Waiting.

Thank you for sharing more details about the security report. We are interested in it but our management team has reviewed our finances and our current situation makes it unaffordable for us. We would like to proceed with data deletion and guarantees only. While we cannot meet your requested amount, management has approved an offer of $27,300 for these services. We can pay this amount promptly if you accept. Do we have a deal?

We don't have a deal. Your offer is too far from our demand. Double your number and we will discuss with the leadership what is possible to do for you.

Our finance department needs more time to see if we can find any additional funds to get closer to what you are asking. It is a public holiday in the US tomorrow so I will only be able to update you on Friday.

We are waiting a much better offer from you. If your plan is to add $30-$40k, you can log out. Let us know.

I have passed on what you just said to our management, but we thought we were all moving in the same direction. You told us that "doubling" our last offer would get us somewhere, and now you are saying something different. As we mentioned, we were working hard over the past two days so we could have a deal, but it seems like now we are back to square one. We were ready to make what we thought was a good offer today.

What is that you wanted to offer?

We were willing to offer you $45,400 for data deletion only, which as we said is already stretching us significantly. We are ready to close the deal ASAP if you agree to work with us here

If you are interested in data deletion only, we can accept $90,000 if you pay within 36 hours and get this over with.
