El Dorado ransomware group
El Dorado is one of the extortion operations we watch continuously. This page covers what is known about the group and the current state of its leak site, which we last saw change 9mo ago.
Who they are
This group is believed to be connected to Lost Trust. El Dorado rebranded to BlackLock in September 2024.
User "$$$" on RAMP is known to be connected to the group.
Current status
El Dorado's leak site is not answering. Sites go dark for infrastructure trouble, a deliberate quiet period, or a takedown, and a good number return weeks later under the same name, so the entry stays on the list either way.
The last change we recorded on it was 9mo ago (7 Dec 2025 03:07 UTC).
Which organisations this group has named, and when, is part of the SINON platform rather than this page. Create an account to search it, or to be told automatically if a name you care about turns up.
Sectors targeted
This group does not state an industry on its site, so we have nothing reliable to report. Most crews are opportunistic rather than sector-specific in any case — they hit what they can reach.
Watching for your name
If El Dorado posts your company, a supplier or a subsidiary, you want to hear it from us rather than from a journalist. SINON checks these sites continuously and alerts on the names you give it.
