White House urges companies affected by recent ransomware attack to report to the Internet Crime Complaint Center

The White House on Sunday urged companies who believe their systems were compromised in the ransomware attack that targeted software vendor Kaseya to immediately report it to the Internet Crime Complaint Center.

"Since Friday, the United States Government has been working across the interagency to assess the Kaseya ransomware incident and assist in the response," said Anne Neuberger, deputy national security advisor for cyber and emerging technology. "The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have been working with Kaseya and coordinating to conduct outreach to impacted victims." REvil malware hit a wide range of IT management companies and compromised hundreds of their corporate clients late last week. The cybercriminal gang, which is believed to operate out of Eastern Europe or Russia, targeted a key software vendor known as Kaseya, whose products are widely used by IT management companies, cybersecurity experts said.
