A massive REvil ransomware attack affects multiple managed service providers and their clients through a reported Kaseya supply-chain attack.
Starting this afternoon, the REvil ransomware gang targeted approximately six large MSPs, with thousands of customers, through what appears to be a Kaseya VSA supply-chain attack.
"We are experiencing a potential attack against the VSA that has been limited to a small number of on-premise customers only as of 2:00 PM EDT today," reads a warning on Kaseya's site.
BleepingComputer has been told by both Huntress' John Hammond and Sophos' Mark Loman that the attacks on MSPs appear to be a supply chain attack through Kaseya VSA. According to Hammond, an agent.
A sample of the REvil ransomware used in one of these attacks has been shared with BleepingComputer.
While REvil is known to steal data before deploying the ransomware and encrypting devices, it is unknown if the attackers exfiltrated any files.
