A Miami-based IT software management company announced Friday that a ransomware attack may have targeted one of its tools used by its clients, potentially affecting some 200 businesses.
According to a notice posted by Kaseya, the IT company said it was “experiencing a potential attack against the VSA that has been limited to a small number of on-premise customers” as early as 2 p.m. ET.
“We are in the process of investigating the root cause of the incident with an abundance of caution but we recommend that you IMMEDIATELY shutdown your VSA server until you receive further notice from us,” the company added, referring to the tool used by some companies to manage servers, desktops and network devices.
“Its critical that you do this immediately, because one of the first things the attacker does is shutoff administrative access to the VSA,” Kaseya said.
