I got a call from a customer. The client company has been having a meeting since last night. However, as of now, it has not been concluded, so it is expected to be decided around Monday in three days. I think I can let you know on Monday.
[Samyang] — 01.08.2022 09:15:07 UTC — Message 66/237
The client says they don't know what information you're referring to as $1B in sales. My Client is an IT service company, so do you have any information about the company my client provides? Isn't it saying that sales are $1B? I'm also acting as an agent in the middle, so I don't know what they're discussing I don't know exactly what they’re discussing, and they just say that they need more time
[lockbit3.0] — 01.08.2022 16:49:38 UTC — Message 67/237
They're bluffing.
[lockbit3.0] — 01.08.2022 16:50:41 UTC — Message 68/237
Apparently the reputation of your company and the value of the stock on the stock exchange are of no value to your client since he is behaving this way.
[Samyang] — 02.08.2022 06:43:39 UTC — Message 69/237
What did we do? I don't know what you mean.
[Samyang] — 02.08.2022 06:44:59 UTC — Message 70/237
We are doing our best to negotiate in the middle. But the amount is so big that I don't know what to do with the customer. What we want is a price adjustment.
[Samyang] — 02.08.2022 06:57:30 UTC — Message 71/237
Is there absolutely no room for negotiation?
[lockbit3.0] — 02.08.2022 13:57:01 UTC — Message 72/237
We negotiate with you, but you do not make any offers, but only bluff, how can we negotiate with you?
[lockbit3.0] — 02.08.2022 13:58:16 UTC — Message 73/237
Your company's annual revenue is $10 billion, you're trying to lie to me that $18 million is a very large amount for you, it's not serious.
[Samyang] — 02.08.2022 15:57:52 UTC — Message 74/237
Okay. I'll try to convince our client as soon as possible
[Samyang] — 03.08.2022 02:06:23 UTC — Message 75/237
My client is not lying. There's something you need to know exactly
[Samyang] — 03.08.2022 02:08:40 UTC — Message 76/237
The company you hacked is an IT service company, and the information you have on the server is the customer’s(of my client) information.
[Samyang] — 03.08.2022 02:10:02 UTC — Message 77/237
The $10B Revenue you're talking about is the Revenue of customers(of my client).
[Samyang] — 03.08.2022 02:11:38 UTC — Message 78/237
you hacked my client’s revenue was $70M and the profit was $4M last year. The client you hacked cannot afford to pay $18M.
[Samyang] — 03.08.2022 02:13:34 UTC — Message 79/237
So the client confessed to the customer and is discussing the hacking. This complicated process delays the answer. You should understand this situation
[Samyang] — 03.08.2022 02:18:39 UTC — Message 80/237
I think the hacked IT service company will probably offer around $500,000 at the outset
[lockbit3.0] — 03.08.2022 22:14:46 UTC — Message 81/237
The fact that we hacked your client's company through the IT company that serviced him does not mean that the ransom price should be less, your IT company is not interesting to us, we need the big fish, your client.
[Samyang] — 04.08.2022 05:54:50 UTC — Message 82/237
I fully understand that you need Big Fish.
[Samyang] — 04.08.2022 05:55:54 UTC — Message 83/237
Big fish is very angry with IT service company. Because IT service company was hacked and Big fish’s information was leaked, Big Fish is saying that IT Company should pay for everything. Also If this doesn't be solved, I heard that Big Fish will cut the deal with the IT company and fill a damage compensation lawsuit.
[Samyang] — 04.08.2022 05:57:50 UTC — Message 84/237
I will explain again because you still don't seem to understand the current situation clearly. My client is an IT service company. You hacked through this IT service company and had Big Fish's information.
[Samyang] — 04.08.2022 05:58:53 UTC — Message 85/237
I will explain again because you still don't seem to understand the current situation clearly. My client is an IT service company. You hacked through this IT service company and had Big Fish's information.
[Samyang] — 04.08.2022 06:01:29 UTC — Message 86/237
However, IT service company cannot afford to pay $18M, as I said before. In the previous conversation, I said that IT service company would pay $500,000. Bur now IT service company seem willing to pay up to $1,000,000 for resolution. And that's big amount(one-third of the client's one-year profit)
[Samyang] — 04.08.2022 06:03:27 UTC — Message 87/237
Please understand the above situation accurately and give me an answer.
[lockbit3.0] — 04.08.2022 19:06:04 UTC — Message 88/237
I understand that your job as a negotiator is to get the ransom price as low as possible, you are a good negotiator, but in this case you are offering too small an amount for a very large company, the damage we can do to your client is absolutely incomparable to the amount you are offering. It doesn't matter who wins your lawsuit, we are now talking about saving a lot more in lost profits for your client, your client would be much better off paying us the ransom and then suing the IT company and recovering the damages. The company's stock could collapse so badly that your client would lose hundreds of millions of dollars instead of just $18 million. I appreciate the increase in buyout amount from your side and see it as a desire to make a good deal for both of us, but 1 million is absolutely not enough for a company with annual revenues of 10 billion dollars. At the same time to show respect to you as a brilliant negotiator I am ready to make a discount of 3 million dollars, in this way I am ready to completely remove all your stolen data, provide decryption keys, and forget about the fact that you have ever been attacked, our deal will be an absolute secret and no one will ever know about it. It's up to you.
[lockbit3.0] — 04.08.2022 19:06:51 UTC — Message 89/237
The bottom line is that if you pay me 15 million dollars in 3 days, everyone will be happy.
[Samyang] — 05.08.2022 10:09:12 UTC — Message 90/237
With this level of hacking skills, you must be very smart and logical people. It seems that we need logical conversations, not emotional ones.
[Samyang] — 05.08.2022 10:11:31 UTC — Message 91/237
I understand that you reasonably present the required amount depending on the size of the company's revenue Bigfish's revenue is about $2B, not $10B And Big fish's profit is much less than this. The amount you ask for is a very difficult amount to pay for even Big fish. If you need to check Big Fish's sales and profits, you can check it right away by entering the stock site. If necessary, I will send financial statements disclosed on the securities site
[Samyang] — 05.08.2022 10:12:42 UTC — Message 92/237
I think negotiations can proceed only when the required amount is presented again. I look forward to a positive answer.
[lockbit3.0] — 05.08.2022 10:17:43 UTC — Message 93/237
I am not emotional. I would be happy to see financial documents that you can show me.
[Samyang] — 06.08.2022 04:43:19 UTC — Message 94/237
I can't contact you because it's the weekend now. I will contact you on Monday.
[lockbit3.0] — 06.08.2022 11:16:16 UTC — Message 95/237
Ok
[Samyang] — 08.08.2022 03:44:44 UTC — Message 96/237
I send you the sales volume of the big fish that I checked directly on the Google Securities site.
[Samyang] — 08.08.2022 03:46:04 UTC — Message 97/237
In terms of $, last year's sales volume is about $1.8B. The reason why you check the exact sales volume of Big fish is because I think it's to reasonably adjust the required amount.

Net Income last year was about $30M on a $ basis. And as you know, this year is worse because of the global economic downturn.

As a person who earns not entirely by legal means, I am sympathetic to the desire to make money, so I'm ready to keep this secret between us if you will not be greedy and give me 15 million.
[lockbit3.0] — 08.08.2022 15:41:11 UTC — Message 123/237
Also, you are bluffing by understating your net income, your net income in March was $16 million and that is only one month, your stock is up 8% today, your business is booming, I think you should not be greedy, and be reasonable by making a deal with me.

Big fish think that $10B in sales = $15M in payments. If the actual sales amount was $2B, it was naturally thought that negotiations would begin at a much lower amount. But you keep saying the same amount. And, my client has information on how much other companies with similar sales paid. Although I said the financial situation of the IT service company that has to pay the money actually and Big Fish's situation several times but you're asking for the same amount.

Other companies paid a lot more than you, the thing is that all reasonable companies always pay quietly and quickly and no one knows about what they paid, because our deal is kept absolutely secret, with a successful transaction absolutely all traces of negotiations and all company data is removed, no one can know about the real amounts of payments companies except me, for example recently the company from NASDAQ paid 70 million dollars and its annual turnover was only 6 billion dollars, so each company is unique and the amount of the ransom is assigned depending on the value of the data we possess.
