Ransomware Attack Hits Hundreds of Companies

“A supply-chain ransomware attack that hit hours before the beginning of a holiday weekend has already affected more than 200 businesses,” the Washington Post reports.

“On Friday, information technology company Kaseya sent out a warning of a ‘potential attack’ on its VSA tool, which is used by IT to manage and monitor computers remotely.”

“Researchers said cybercriminals were sending two different ransom notes on Friday — demanding $50,000 from smaller companies and $5 million from larger ones.”
