New details reveal massive scale of Kaseya ransomware attack
2021-07-05
[IsraelTimes] CEO says thousands of mostly smaller businesses hit by likely Russian hackers, who are demanding sums between $45,000 and $5 million to unscramble data, according to expert.

Kaseya said it sent a detection tool to nearly 900 customers on Saturday night.
Cybersecurity teams worked feverishly Sunday to stem the impact of the single biggest global ransomware attack on record, with some details emerging about how the Russia-linked gang responsible breached the company whose software was the conduit.

An affiliate of the notorious REvil gang, best known for extorting $11 million from the meat-processor JBS after a Memorial Day attack, infected thousands of victims in at least 17 countries on Friday, largely through firms that remotely manage IT infrastructure for multiple customers, cybersecurity researchers said. They reported ransom demands of up to $5 million.

#10  Also, at this point in time using WinDoze for business or government should be a crime.
Yes Mac and Linux and other OSs can get infected but not as easily as WinDoze does.

#9  largely through firms that remotely manage IT infrastructure for multiple customers,

Name names. These firms should be sued unto bankruptcy and their management held accountable - perhaps even serve jail time. Its called negligence, perhaps even criminal negligence.
