Supply-chain attack on Kaseya impacting 1000+ businesses REvil ransomware pushers exploit zero-day flaw in Kaseya VSA to infect MSPs and their customers. Credit: Dreamstime More than 1000 businesses from around the world have reportedly been impacted in a supply-chain attack where hackers exploited a vulnerability in a remote computer management tool called Kaseya VSA to deploy the REvil ransomware. Kaseya shut down its cloud-based service and urged all users with on-premises deployments, which includes many managed services providers (MSPs), to immediately shut down their vulnerable servers until a patch is released. This is not the first time cyber criminals and ransomware gangs have targeted MSPs as an easy way to gain access into corporate networks. Defending against this attack vector is not easy for many organisations since outsourcing IT administration means giving MSPs highly privileged access into their networks and systems.
