San Francisco: US IT companies urge customers to turn off their servers Friday after cyberamattackers smuggle ransomware to the network platform.
Kasya said on Friday night that it had limited the attack to “a very small percentage of our customers” who use its typical VSA software, “currently an estimated more than 40 throughout the world.” Firm Cybersecurity Firm Huntress Labs previously said at the Reddit forum that it worked with targeted partners in the attack, and that around 200 businesses “had been encrypted.” Ransomware attacks usually involve data locking in the system using encryption, making the company pay to regain access.
Kasya describes itself as a leading provider of IT management and security services for small and medium enterprises.
VSA, company superior offers, designed to let companies manage computer networks and printers from one point.
The company became aware of the possibility of incidents with VSA in the middle of the US east coast and “immediately closed the” server as “precautions,” he said.
Kasya also “immediately told our local customers via email, deep notes, and the phone to turn off their VSA servers to prevent them compromised.” “We believe that we have identified a source of vulnerability and is preparing patches to mitigate,” said the company in a statement.
According to the New Zealand government emergency response team, the attackers came from a hacking group known as Revil.
Revil also, according to the FBI, behind last month’s attack on JBS, one of the largest meat processors in the world, which ended with Brazil-based companies paying Bitcoin worth $ 11 million to hackers.
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a word that “taking action to understand and overcome the recent supply chain ransomware attack” against Kasya VSA and service providers using the software.
Cisa asked the business to attend Kasya’s guidance and quickly turned off the VSA server to avoid the compromised system.
Kashya included US headquarters in Florida and international headquarters in Ireland.
