COMMERCIAL GAIN !!!

This is an important message. Your company was attacked by cryptolockers

and was successfully hacked.

network, including accounting documents and

information that constitutes trade secrets. We are working under a new

scheme so as not to represent

inconvenience to the company with which we are dealing with that is why

before we block your computers we offer

solve the issue for a small compensation (which is much less than what will

be after exploitation of your vulnerabilities and

your computers) in the amount of $2500. You have 24 hours to respond to

this message and transfer

funds to this BTC wallet : bc1qtttvn6eyhwshwtdst7tja0eqmgsd8r65phzjz5 . Do
