FILE - This Feb 23, 2019, file photo shows the inside of a computer in Jersey City, N.J. A ransomware attack paralyzed the networks of at least 200 U.S. companies on Friday, July 2, 2021, according to a cybersecurity researcher whose company was responding to the incident.

The REvil gang, a major Russian-speaking ransomware syndicate, appears to be behind the attack, said John Hammond of the security firm Huntress Labs. He said the criminals targeted a software supplier called Kaseya, using its network-management package as a conduit to spread the ransomware through cloud-service providers. Other researchers agreed with Hammond’s assessment.

Brett Callow, a ransomware expert at the cybersecurity firm Emsisoft, said he was unaware of any previous ransomware supply-chain attack on this scale. There have been others, but they were fairly minor, he said.

More American bs...

GWS to miss the finals

All planned. Cyber Polygon exercise is July 9th. Remember Event 201 before the “plandemic”. I suspect the global elitists to launch massive cyber attacks and possibly target the power grid also. Wake up people...we are under attack by our own governments!

Because all russians speak english, but no many americans speak russian. 😅😂🤣
