In the latest cybersecurity breach, the US company IT Kaseya said it believes only about 800 to 1,500 of the estimated 800,000 to 1,000,000 were affected by the attack. But cybersecurity experts believe that estimate to be on the low side.
Who is responsible?
Many suspect it is the Russian hacking group REvil who were also the culprits behind the 11 million dollar ransom of meatpacking plant JBS. The hackers were able to distribute ransomware by exploiting several vulnerabilities in the VSA software, a Kaseya spokeswoman said. By targeting Kaseya's VSA, the hackers were able to open the door to infect more computers in what is known as a supply-chain attack.
