🦍 Animal Humanity Is Better Than Human Humanity – A Lesson from the Brookfield Zoo Gorilla

Image
 Compassion is often considered the essence of humanity. Yet, sometimes, it is not humans who remind us of kindness and empathy—but animals. One unforgettable event proved that animal humanity can be more profound than human humanity . In 1996, at Brookfield Zoo in Chicago , the world witnessed a heart-stopping scene that forever changed how we view gorillas and their emotions. 📌 The Incident at Brookfield Zoo It was an ordinary day at the zoo until tragedy struck. An eight-year-old boy slipped and fell into the gorilla enclosure . His head hit the ground violently, leaving him unconscious. Panic erupted among visitors—everyone expected the worst as a massive gorilla approached the fragile child. But instead of aggression, something extraordinary happened. 🦍 The Gorilla’s Unexpected Compassion The gorilla, an eight-year-old female named Binti Jua , did not harm the boy.

SynAck ransomware decryption keys

The SynAck ransomware gang released the master decryption keys for their operation after rebranding as the new El_Cometa group.

When ransomware operations encrypt files, they usually generate encryption keys on a victim's device and encrypt those keys with a master encryption key. The encrypted key is then embedded in the encrypted file or ransom note and can only be decrypted using the ransomware gang's master decryption keys (private keys).

Now, the SynAck ransomware operation released the master keys, the gang's decryptors, and a manual on using the master keys, and shared them on their data leak site and with the cybersecurity news site TheRecord.

After receiving the keys, TheRecord shared them with ransomware expert Michael Gillespie who verified that the keys are legitimate and will be creating a SynAck decryptor so victims can recover their files for free.

Emsisoft CTO Fabian Wosar said "that the archive contains a total of sixteen master decryption keys".


Keys released after the renaming to El_Cometa

The SynAck ransomware operation launched in August/September 2017 but was never a very active group. Their most activity was in 2018 but slowly tapered off at the end of 2019.

At the end of July 2021, the ransomware group rebranded as El_Cometa and became a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS), where they recruit affiliates to breach corporate networks and deploy their encryptor.

While it is not common for ransomware gangs to release master decryption keys, it has happened in the past when operations shut down or rebrand to a new name.
