Over the holiday weekend, a cyber-criminal organization known as REvil, launched a ransomware attack on a cybersecurity company, Kaseya. Kaseya is a cloud-based MSP platform that allows Managed IT Service Providers tools to be able to monitor the state of their customers’ PCs, as well as manage updates. Kaseya is one of many companies that provide tools to Managed IT Service Providers.
Of the nearly 30 tools Kaseya provides to the MSP market, only one, Kaseya VSA, was compromised.
Once irregularities in the system were noticed Friday, July 2nd, 2021, Kaseya worked with partners in the industry and clients to gather information and shut down their VSA servers to prevent any further damage. More Information about Kaseya Attack
