Your final price does not allow much flexibility. We find this amount very difficult to meet.

Your insurance covers 5MM. We ask 4MM with discount.

Our team has met and we find that our policy does not expressly make funds available for a payment when there are existing riders to get us up and running. Your demand does not allow for that.
Wed Apr 23 2025 15:29:35 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)
LOCKBIT
Your answer is unclear. We need a straight explanation: what exactly is stopping the payment? If there are specific conditions, name them — or let me ask another way: should we start publishing your data?
Wed Apr 23 2025 15:39:05 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)
Victim #241
That policy does not expressly make funds available for ransom payment. There are other considerations that are expressed in the policy like restoration & remediation support to assist with us becoming operational and liability issues. We do not want you to publish data either. Our team will be meeting mid-week to fully assess our options.

LOCKBIT
Your own policy (section “Cyber Extortion — We will pay on your behalf cyber extortion expenses”) guarantees funds for ransom. Your choice: one clean payment or months of lawsuits, fines, and shareholder rage. Forward this to your insurer and settle, or watch your reputation disintegrate in real time. Our OSINT team collecting contacts of regulators, journalists, and competitors for the data drop in case you refuse to pay.
