"and then we will give you back your systems." and, of course, this happening to one victim is a devastating situation for them and all their customers and people that rely on their services. but what's happened here is this cybercriminal ransom group, revil, have managed to target a company called kaseya, which is enormous but none of us have really heard of. they are used by lots and lots of other companies. so, by attacking one, they attack the entire supply chain. and what we've seen is some real horrendous knock on effects. for example,
