Frequently Asked Questions

What does Ransomware Negotiation mean?

Negotiation strategy
Decision making

Post-Negotiation actions

I have already contacted the threat actor and started a conversation. Can I still have your negotiation services?

Yes, you can. Please contact our negotiation team. [email protected]

Do you provide cryptocurrency ransom payment service?

Yes, we provide cryptocurrency ransom payment service.

What information should I provide before the negotiator contacts the threat actor?

After contacting our negotiation team, we provide an initial questionnaire form that includes basic information about your company (the victim), the status of the incident, and your expectations. Our negotiation team uses that information to do their initial research, and they provide an Initial Intelligence Report.

Do I have to make a payment after getting the Initial Intelligence Report?

No, the goal of the Initial Intelligence Report is to provide intelligence about the attacker, risks of making and not making a payment. We also share the initial quote with the intelligence report to enable you to analyze the risks and give the right decision. Our paid service starts after approving the service terms and the initial quote.

How long does it take the negotiation procedures?

Depending on the victim’s and threat actor’s expectations, the negotiation can take 24 hours to a week. Our goal is to reach your expected payment amount as soon as possible.

How can I make a payment if we get an agreement on ransom payments?

Threat actors mainly request ransom payments using cryptocurrencies. You can do the transfer using your own crypto wallets, or request support from us to manage the payment.

What happens if you cannot reduce the payment?

We start charging for our Ransomware Negotiation service only when we reduce the ransom payment by 50%. Our records show that we reduced the payments by up to 87.5% within the last two years.

How can I check if the threat actor shares our data on the dark web?

When you use our negotiation services, we provide a complimentary 30-day Dark Web Monitoring service to detect if any data is shared.

Do you provide any support to prevent similar attacks in the future?

ChainBreak provides managed Attack Surface Management (ASM) and Digital Risk Protection (DRP) services to prevent cyber attacks before happening. ASM service provides visibility on your digital infrastructure by discovering unknown assets, and detecting vulnerabilities and configuration weaknesses on them that threat actors exploit. DRP service provides dark web monitoring, phishing prevention, code repository monitoring, and cloud instance monitoring to eliminate critical factors that the attackers use to conduct their attacks.
