Ransomware hits hundreds of US companies, security firm says

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.

“Kaseya handles large enterprise all the way to small businesses globally, so ultimately, has the potential to spread to any size or scale business,” Hammond said in a direct message onSuch cyberattacks typically infiltrate widely used software and spread malware as it updates automatically. “This is SolarWinds with ransomware,” he said. He was referring to a Russian cyberespionage hacking campaign discovered in December that spread by infecting network management software to infiltrate U.S. federal agencies and scores of corporations.

Hammond wrote on Twitter: “Based on everything we are seeing right now, we strongly believe this REvil/Sodinikibi.” The FBI linked the same ransomware provider to a May attack on JBS SA, a major global meat processer. The privately held Kaseya says it is based in Dublin, Ireland, with a U.S. headquarters in Miami. The Miami Herald recently described it as “one of Miami’s oldest tech companies” in a report about its plans to hire as many as 500 workers by 2022 to staff a recently acquired cybersecurity platform.
