A special agency has reported that 200 companies have been targeted by a cyber attack

Computer security firm Honduras Labs said Friday that CyberTalk is targeting about 200 companies with a recovery note via management software from the US company Kasia.

The team, which says it is “investigating the source of the problem”, has asked all clients running its software site to shut down servers that provide the software.

The U.S. Agency for Cyber ​​Security and Infrastructure Security (CISA) said on its own website that it was taking action to “understand and resolve the latest ransomware attack” against Cassia’s VSA software and multiple service providers. IT management using this software.

Many of these attacks were attributed to Russian-based hacker groups operating at least with the indirect consent of the Kremlin.
