REvil is increasing ransoms for Kaseya ransomware attack victims
2021-07-04 17:35

The REvil ransomware gang is increasing the ransom demands for victims encrypted during Friday's Kaseya ransomware attack.

With Friday's attack on Kaseya VSA servers, REvil targeted the managed service providers and not their customers.

For victims of the Kaseya ransomware incident, REvil is doing things differently and demanding between $40,000 and $45,000 per individual encrypted file extension found on a victim's network.

The good news is that the REvil representatives have told victims that they only encrypted networks, and nothing more.

Since the attacks on Friday, Kaseya has been working on releasing a patch for the zero-day vulnerability exploited in the REvil attack.

REvil found the vulnerability simultaneously and launched their attack on Friday before the patch was ready, just in time for the US Fourth of July holiday weekend.
