Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

This row is a claim by the ransomware group DragonForce 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.

Moncaro is comfortably established in its territory thanks to its agriculturalists and its vineyards. The company plays an important role in the development of economic activities linked to tradition and land, such as viniculture. Committed to the research and conservation of the biodiversity of the many micro-environments of Le Marche region, Moncaro is a fundamental custodian of the memory of this land, a contributor to the maintenance of the economic and social structures and, consequently, of the landscape. Projects conducted by Moncaro, in collaboration with various universities, have led to the selection of local yeasts and to the identification, study and replanting of clones of early Verdicchio vines planted in these hills in bygone times. Moncaro also provides ongoing support to associations and initiatives connected to the culture and history of the territory.
