1m computers affected, $US70m ransomware demand – Ransomware as a Service made scalable by means of a supply chain attack!
Similar to the Solarwinds hack last year, cyber criminals managed to infiltrate the systems of a managed IT services software provider, in this instance Kaseya.
Once in there, a management software “update” was deployed to 1m+ computers according to the hackers and ransomware was pushed through it to hundreds of medium businesses.
