Mr Hammond said the criminals targeted a software supplier called Kaseya, using its network management as a way to spread the ransomware through cloud-service providers."Kaseya handles large enterprise all the way to small businesses globally, so ultimately, has the potential to spread to any size or scale business," he said on Twitter.
