REvil ransomware gang lowers price for universal decryptor after massive worldwide ransomware push against Kaseya security vulnerability CVE-2021-30116.
The worldwide July 2 attacks on the Kaseya Virtual System/Server Administrator (VSA) platform by the REvil ransomware gang turn out to be the result of exploits for at least one zero-day security vulnerability, and the company is swinging into full mitigation mode, with patches for the on-premise version coming soon, likely Wednesday or Thursday, it said.
The VSA software is used by Kaseya customers to remotely monitor and manage software and network infrastructure. It’s supplied either as a hosted cloud service by Kaseya, or via on-premises VSA servers.
