PARIS (AFP) - When a massive cyberattack took out everything from Swedish supermarkets to New Zealand kindergartens this month, a group of Dutch ethical hackers breathed a collective sigh of frustration. They had been so close to stopping it.
If the Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD) sounds obscure, that’s in keeping with its discreet presence on the internet.
This volunteer army of unpaid tech geeks have quietly prevented hundreds of cyberattacks since 2019 by finding holes in websites and software that could be exploited by hackers.

Software developer Kaseya on Sunday released patches for its remote monitoring and management software, which had been exploited by ransomware attackers to infect up to 1,500 organizations. The FBI is probing the attack, and Miami-based Kaseya says it s also been working closely with the U.S. Cybersecurity Infrastructure and Security Agency.
After repeatedly pushing back promised delivery dates for patches after the attack that came to light on July 2, Kaseya has now released fixes for the on-premises version of its Virtual System Administrator - aka VSA - software. Kaseya said in a Sunday security advisory that it expects to begin bringing its software-as-a-service version of VSA, which it has also patched, back online incrementally.
