Unverified threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing
Attribution, victim identity, and counts shown here derive from groove's public extortion-blog claims, aggregated by ransomware.live. They have not been validated by the victim or any regulator. Treat them as the threat actor's assertion until a regulatory filing or victim disclosure corroborates them.
According to ransomware.live, the group claims:
Groove emerged in mid-2021 as a loose criminal collective linked to former Babuk gang members, known for publicly leaking Fortinet VPN credentials to attract affiliates and calling for attacks on US government and financial targets; the group later claimed its entire operation was a hoax to mislead security researchers.
