When Ransomware Group REvil Vanished, Its Victims Were Stranded

Posted on July 27, 2021 by Dissent

While Kaseya clients and their clients got some welcome help in the past few days when Kaseya announced that they had a universal decryptor go give clients — a decryptor that they claim they did not pay anyone in any way to obtain — there are are still other victims of REvil struggling.

Unfortunately, landing a key that works on multiple victim networks is extremely rare.
