The REvil ransomware gang has taken credit for the Kaseya attack that has affected more than 1,000 companies worldwide. The criminals are asking for a $70 million ransom in bitcoin to publish a public universal decryptor that will unlock all affected computers. The attack is whats known as a software supply chain attack, in which a cyber threat actor infiltrates a software vendor’s network and sends malicious code to compromise the software before the vendor sends it out to its customers. The hackers that targeted SolarWinds software used this type of attack to infiltrate major U.S. federal agencies and corporations.”]
