The attack on US-based software provider Kaseya by notorious Russia-linked ransomware group REvil in July 2021 is estimated to have affected up to 2000 global organisations, including managed service providers (MSPs).
REvil targeted a vulnerability (CVE-2021-30116) in a Kaseya remote computer management tool to launch the attack, with the fallout lasting for weeks as more and more information on the incident came to light.

Global software vendor Kaseya worked in earnest for three months to resolve flaws in its VSA monitoring and management software, but ultimately lost the race with ransomware attackers, Dutch researchers say.
On Wednesday, the researchers who had found flaws in VSA released a timeline and description of issues that give more context into the engineering challenges Kaseya faced.
The researchers, with the Dutch Institute of Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD), found seven vulnerabilities, six of which affected the software-as-a-service and on-premises versions of VSA and one of which that only affected the on-premises version.
