Don’t Panic Over Reports of Another Serious Ransomware Attack

Instead - take action

Just as everyone was getting ready to celebrate Independence Day, a major cyberattack occurred. What made this ransomware attack different from others was that the cybercriminals went after MSPs, via Kaseya VSA – Kaseya’s RMM (remote monitoring and management) tool. By doing so, the perpetrators gained access to many of Kaseya’s MSP clients as well. More than 17 countries have now been impacted.

thinkCSC does not use Kaseya VSA. However, this should serve as yet another wake-up call to every business of every size that the risk is real: No one is immune to cybercrime. Another business is compromised every 11 minutes. And most of the time, the attacks are preventable. So instead of panicking, it’s time to take action.

Risk Assessment

If you don’t know where you’re vulnerable, you need to assess your risk. Our team can evaluate your existing security protocols and make suggestions for what needs to change to keep you safe. This is the place to begin, even if you already have an MSP partner, to make sure your data and your customers are protected.
