Galago

Galago is a newly identified ransomware operation that emerged in September 2026, claiming operational partnership with the Panzer ransomware group. The connection is suggested through shared infrastructure, specifically matching prefixes in their Tor leak-site addresses (pnzr4del for Galago and pnzruro for Panzer). Galago was first detected following an alleged attack on an Icelandic healthcare organization on 9 September 2026, though this claim remains unverified as their dark leak site showed no published victims. Panzer, described as a ransomware-as-a-service operation, has published 32 victims between August and September 2026 and employs double extortion tactics. While the naming pattern and self-reported claims suggest a relationship, no independent evidence confirms shared operators, malware, or infrastructure control between the two groups.
