Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

This row is a claim by the ransomware group Monti 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.

According to ransomware.live, Monti is a ransomware group first observed in June 2022 that initially copied nearly all of Conti's leaked source code, pivoting to target government, legal, and healthcare entities, later releasing a new Linux variant in 2023 with significantly less Conti code similarity, and experimenting with an affiliate model.
