yes, strong indications are coming from huntress - the attack?ons. are coming from huntress labs, and of course, this isn't a sort of national authority, this is only one cybersecurity firm but they are pointing in the direction of a cyber criminal gang which uses a piece of malware, ransomware, and they are no tory is. they are the same company that held trevor lex, the foreign exchange company, to ransom back in 2019 and caused huge amounts of problems for that company, cost them millions in reported ransoms. and then there was a big hit against a resilient meat supplier that affected meat supplies in the us last month and the company, jb s, admitted to paying the criminals $11 million to get out of the situation so it looks like there could be holding not only kaseya but a whole chain of different companies to ransom for potentially millions of dollars. the supermarket morrisons has agreed a takeover deal worth six—point—three billion pounds. the bid is from a new company backed by three private investment groups, including the american owner

huntress labs says it believes a russian—linked ransomware gang is behind the attack, the same groupand explained why those firms who have been affected were being urged to shut their systems. unfortunately, once they've been hit it's too late to do anything, other than react. so one thing we know is that they are working on a patch to try and solve this but to limit the damage, what they've said is we need to shut this down and the reason it is important to shut it down is imagine you've got a safety deposit box in a bank. somebody could break into that safety deposit box and take the valuables. the problem here is they haven't taken the safety deposit box, they've taken the skeleton key to the safety deposit boxes in the room. what we can see is they've attacked these service providers, which means just from three of the 200 businesses affected, we know at least eight isps that have been affected, so this could potentially be thousands of companies and the best thing to do is to get those businesses to shut their it servers and systems down straightaway to prevent any further damag

cybersecurity firm huntress labs said the hack first targeted a florida—based it company kaseya beforerging customers who use its data visualisation tool to immediately shut down their servers. well, earlier i spoke to bryan cunningham, who's executive director of the cyber security policy & research institute at university college irvine. i asked him who he thought was behind this most recent ransomware attack. it seems fairly clear that the attack methodology is consistent with the so—called revil software attack group, which is based in russia and eastern europe. i think what president biden was doing was being appropriately cautious, because at the beginning of any of these events you don't know for sure. but it's very difficult for me to believe that an attack of this magnitude could be launched by a russia or eastern europe—based criminal group without the russian government at least knowing about it and acquiescing, if not being actually behind it. 0k, well, let's take that as a working hypothesis. obviously we don't know for certain, but if that is true, what do you think the r

cyber—security firm huntress labs said the hack first targeted a florida—based it company kaseya before. our cyber reporterjoe tidy explains how severe the attack is. yeah, ithink yeah, i think many people would be unfamiliar with the name, but at some of these companies that actually is massive and is used by a lot of other companies and that's why this is so serious because usually a ransom where attack involves hackers gaining access to computer system and can take weeks or months to gain access to that system and when they are ready, they will encrypt the network and take over and hijacked that system and they will demand payment from the victim. in this case, they have gone after them and effectively popped the company and therefore taking victims of the entire supply chain and a figure going on at the moment and a figure going on at the moment and the company seems to be on top of the situation and the sea around 200 companies that use them, they have been affected by this and normally this is one of the stories it's really big deal in the cybersecurity world it's a major concern

according to a researcher at huntress labs, the attack was carried out most likely by the same people who carried out the attack against jbs. because of kaseya's connection to large and small businesses this ransomware attack could go on further. >>> more coming up on "velshi," republicans in pennsylvania are trying to recreate the shame audit that we are seeing in arizona. >>> and the teflon don's namesake company was hit with criminal indictments this week. >>> and first came the big lie and then a deadly insurrection and now a bigger lie. coming up next, the cover-up on capitol hill. raise the jar to all five layers. raise the jar to the best gelato... you've ever tasted. talenti. raise the jar. ♪ ♪ life can be a lot to handle. ♪this magic moment,♪ but there's plenty of magic in all that chaos. ♪so different and so new.♪ ♪was like any other...♪ ♪ all by yourself.♪ - oh. - what? rain. cancel and stay? done. go with us and get millions of felixble booking options. expedia. it matters who you travel with. delicia: this is where all our recycling is sorted -- expedia. 1.2 million pound
