How REvil evolved into a ransomware collective capable of extorting Kaseya, JBS
The Russian ransomware gang REvil is loud, ambitious and particularly nasty. Even by hackers’ standards. Before claiming responsibility for a breach at the software company Kaseya, which has resulted in breaches at perhaps thousands of other businesses and newfound attention from the White House, the group accounted for less than 10% of known ransomware victims, according to the threat intelligence firm Recorded Future. Now, it accounts for 42%. As U.S. national security officials and much of the cybersecurity community race to mitigate the fallout from the Kaseya incident, the incident serves as yet another reminder of how groups of scammers are making millions of dollars after years of honing their tradecraft. A “conservative estimate” by IBM placed REvil’s 2020 profits at $123 million, first among ransomware gangs, while multiple firms said the gang’s malware was the most common digital extortion tool. That was before the REvil group also struck the […]

FBI blames REvil gang for JBS ransomware hack as global meat supplier gets back to work
A prolific ransomware operation known as REvil is to blame for a ransomware attack against the global meat supplier JBS, the FBI said Wednesday. REvil, also called Sodinokibi, is an infamous hacking group perhaps best known for launching digital extortion attacks against Apple and a biotechnology firm that was researching methods of slowing the coronavirus, among other victims. In a statement, the FBI said it is “working diligently to bring the threat actors to justice” following a May 30 breach at JBS that forced the temporary closure of meat processing facilities in the U.S., Canada and Australia. Security researchers have suggested that REvil is based in Russia, as the group seems to avoid infecting Russian targets.
