Synoptek

Synoptek is a managed IT services provider headquartered in the United States. It delivers IT management and support services to a diverse range of clients across multiple industry sectors.

Synoptek’s position as a managed IT services provider makes it a focal point for cyber threats, as demonstrated by the December 2019 ransomware attack involving the Sodinokibi strain. The attack originated from a credential compromise that allowed threat actors to deploy ransomware via the provider’s remote management tools onto customer systems. In response, Synoptek paid an undisclosed ransom to obtain decryption keys, while state and federal agencies conducted outreach to potentially affected entities. This incident highlights the provider’s role in the broader IT services ecosystem and the risks associated with centralized remote access. No further structural details about ownership or parent/subsidiary relationships are publicly specified in the available sources.
