Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing
This row is a claim by the ransomware group Lynx 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.

Our name is an acronym for Sea Air and Land Communication and as the name implies we have designed and manufactured radio communication hardware for use in marine, aeronautical and terrestrial applications. At Salcom we know most things about getting a radio signal from A to B, whether it's 100 metres or 100 kilometres. Borne out of Tait Communications, the New Zealand communications iconic company, Salcom still has 3 of Tait's original engineers actively involved in technical roles and on the board of directors. After nearly 40 years of being in business and having exported products to most parts of the world Salcom has gained a lot of experience in just about every area of radio communication from emergency marine beacons to airport runway lights control and everything in between. Salcom has been entrusted many times to protect people's lives by providing reliable radio hardware and software for Fire, Ambulance, Hospital and Police services.

Not assessable
Evidence ladder
Attacker assertion only. Establishes: claim date, group, alleged victim.
Unlocks: incident narrative, operational impact. Still no compliance clock.
Unlocks: discovery date, data types, affected count, compliance clock.
Unlocks: materiality, stated response, full audit trail. Ceiling removed.
No regulatory filing corroborates this yet — it is the attacker's own assertion. Watch this entity to be notified the moment a filing corroborates or contradicts it.
