Obsidian Jackal is a fictional synthetic threat actor created for cyber threat intelligence exercises, training, testing, and documentation within the Synthetic Exercise World Format. It appears as TA-700 Obsidian Jackal and TA-710 Obsidian Jackal, representing exercise-only adversary designations rather than a real-world intrusion set. The actor is associated with the fictional country Asterin Union on the fictional planet Nacre. Available information does not provide corroborated operational details such as malware families, victimology, intrusion methods, campaign history, or confirmed tactics, techniques, and procedures beyond its inclusion as a named exercise threat actor. Obsidian Jackal should therefore be treated as a fictional placeholder adversary used to support structured CTI scenarios and interoperability testing, not as an attributed real-world nation-state, criminal, or hacktivist actor.
