‘Shut down everything’: Global ransomware attack takes a small Maryland town offline – The Washington Post

Last week, hackers exploited a software vulnerability at the IT services provider Kaseya. The resulting hack infected about 60 of Kaseya’s customers like JustTech, customers that in turn provide IT services to small businesses. The attack then spread through the Kaseya software to affect as many as 1,500 U.S. businesses, Kaseya has said, and the full extent of the damage is not yet known.
