Those who are stealing behind the big redemption want $ 70m | Economic Affairs

The suspects are thought to be behind the massive protests that have affected hundreds of companies around the world for $ 70m to restore this, according to a dark page.

The inquiry was sent Sunday night to a page used by the violent gang RE RE, a Russian-affiliated group that is considered to be among the worst offenders in the world.

The group has a collaborative team, which sometimes makes it difficult to know who can speak on behalf of the hijackers, but Allan Liska of cyber security company Recorded Future said the message “almost” came from REvil’s top leadership.

The group did not respond to Reuters’s request for comment.

Revil’s rescue mission, which the group carried out on Friday, was the highlight of several exciting adventures.

The group joined Kaseya, a Miami-based technology company, and used their opportunity to crack down on their customers, launching a chain that disrupted the computers of many companies around the world.

Security experts strongly blamed REvil for the incident. What Sunday said was the first public confession that was the reason for this.

A spokesman for Kaseya said the company was aware of the ransom but did not return immediately to explain it.

Liska said she believed the robbers bit more than they could chew.

“Because of all their great discussions on their blog, I think this is over and it’s bigger than they expected,” he said.

‘Going Out’

The liberation attack, one of the largest in history, spread around the world on Saturday. At one point, it forced Sweden’s grocery store company Coop to close all 800 of its stores because it could not sell cash.

The conspiracy to seize the Kaseya VSA machine control tool and instantly push off the malpractice infestation of professional administrators who offer thousands of businesses.

Security company Huntress Labs, which is the first to complain about the risk of disease to customers, said on Saturday that thousands of small companies could be arrested.

Kaseya, who lives in Miami, said he was working with the FBI and that only about 40 of his clients were directly involved. It did not mention the number of donors that spread the evil program to others.

In a statement on Saturday, the FBI said it was investigating in collaboration with the US Cybersecurity and Infource Security Agency.

“We urge all affected parties to take advantage of this development and to ensure that users follow Kaseya’s instructions to shut down VSA servers immediately,” the agency said.

Affected businesses had files stored and left electronic messages asking to pay a ransom of thousands or millions of dollars.

‘The tip of the iceberg’

Some experts say that during the uprising, the Friday before the last week in the United States, the goal was to get workers out of work as soon as possible.

“What we are seeing now in the case of victims is clearly just the tip of the iceberg,” said Adam Meyers, senior vice president of security company CrowdStrike.

President Joe Biden said on Saturday he had instructed US law enforcement agencies to investigate the cause.

According to Coop, one of Sweden’s largest chains, the tool used to change payments was affected by the conspiracy, so pay cannot be taken.

“We’ve been having problems with repairs all night, but we’ve said we need to keep the retail space open today,” Coop spokeswoman Therese Knapp told Swedish Television.

Swedish news agency TT said Kaseya’s expertise was utilized by Swedish company Visma Esscom, which manages several Swedish business servers and equipment.

Government railways and medical chains were also disrupted.

“Caught in various degrees,” Visma Esscom chief executive Fabian Mogren told TT.

Security Minister Peter Hultqvist told Swedish television station that the attack was “dangerous” and showed how business and government organizations needed to be prepared.

“In different political contexts, there may be government decision-makers who have attacked us in such a way as to imprison people and create chaos,” he said.
