Unverified threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing
Attribution, victim identity, and counts shown here derive from synack'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:
SynAck is a sophisticated ransomware operation first spotted in 2017, known for using hybrid ECIES encryption and the Doppelganging process injection technique to evade detection; in August 2021 the group rebranded as El_Cometa, transitioning to a full RaaS model and releasing master decryption keys for prior victims.
