UNSECURITY Episode 138: Kaseya VSA Ransomware & Microsoft PrintNightmare

from UNSECURITY: Information Security Podcast · host The InfoSec Mission

Kaseya VSA, a remote management software, experienced a breach over the holiday weekend that is already impacting a number of clients. It appears that this attack is connected to the Russian hacker gang known as REvil—but it has not been determined whether or not it is the work of REvil itself or an affiliate in their Ransomware as a Service (RaaS) program (and yes, that's a thing).Evan and Brad break down the attack on this week's UNSECURITY episode.Additionally, and flying under the radar because of Kaseya, news broke on June 30th about an impressive and potentially very damaging vulnerability in the Microsoft Print Spooler service. This has actually impacted a larger number of customers than Kaseya (millions of servers) and likely would have been bigger news had it not been for Kaseya.If you feel you've been impacted by the Kaseya attack directly, or would like more information, visit: https://helpdesk.kaseya.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4403440684689Here is more information on the Microsoft bug: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/microsoft-sounds-urgent-warning-windows-022541397.html?Additionally, Evan was on KARE 11 discussing Kaseya yesterday (July 5): https://www.kare11.com/video/news/local/breaking-the-news/ransomware-crime-wave-keeps-us-on-edge/89-44bed2c8-bbb1-4572-abc9-53551c6c74fa?jwsource=clGive episode 138 a watch/listen and send questions, comments, and feedback to [email protected].
