40,000 Businesses Worldwide Affected by Cyberattack on Software Provider

Hundreds of businesses around the world, including one of Sweden’s largest grocery chains, grappled with potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities after a software provider that provides services to more than 40,000 organizations, Kaseya, said it had been the victim of a “sophisticated cyberattack.” Security researchers said the attack may have been carried out by REvil, a Russian cybercriminal group that the FBI has said was behind the hacking of the world’s largest meat processor, JBS, in May.
