At Least 13 Managed Service Providers Were Used To Push Ransomware This Year
A new report published this week by threat intelligence firm Armor puts the number of managed service providers (MSPs) that got hit with ransomware this year at 13, possibly more. From a report: For those unfamiliar with the term, a managed service provider is a company that manages a customer's IT infrastructure using remote administration tools.

[...] Starting this year, ransomware gangs have realized that they could compromise the network of an MSP, and then use their remote access tools to deploy ransomware on the MSP's customer networks, infecting hundreds of companies and thousands of computers, all at once, with the push of a few buttons.

In total, the company found 13, but many more could be unreported.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
