About Synack.

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.
