Cybersecurity teams worked feverishly Sunday to stem the impact of the single biggest global ransomware attack on record, with some details emerging about how the Russia-linked gang responsible breached the company whose software was the conduit.
An affiliate of the notorious REvil gang, best known for extorting $11 million from the meat-processor JBS after a Memorial Day attack, infected thousands of victims in at least 17 countries on Friday, largely through firms that remotely manage IT infrastructure for multiple customers, cybersecurity researchers said.
Now for the really scary scenario. If these terrorists can bring down meat companies think what the can do with our electric grid. If they gained control we would be not only brought to our knees millions of Americans would die. No electricity means no communications, no fuel, no food----no nothing.
