Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

This row is a claim by the ransomware group Sinobi on its public extortion blog. It has not been validated by the victim or any regulator. Treat attribution and counts as the threat actor's assertion until a regulatory filing or victim disclosure corroborates them.

It transmits fire and security alarm signals to its monitoring station in Eureka. Advanced Security offers the only local monitoring station on the Northcoast. It invested in building and staffing its own local central station instead of contracting with a third party out-of-the-area provider.
