Press Release
Member of the REvil ransomware extradited to the United States to face trial for the Kaseya attack
Member of the REvil ransomware extradited to the United States to face trial for the Kaseya attack
Vasinkyi is thought to be an affiliate of the REvil ransomware, charged with breaking into corporate networks around the world, stealing unencrypted data, and then encrypting every device connected to the network.
The DOJ revealed shortly after Vasinkyi’s arrest that he was behind the ransomware attack against managed services provider Kaseya, which affected thousands of businesses all across the world.
The release from the U.S. DoJ stated that during the alleged attack on Kaseya, Vasinskyi “enabled the deployment of malicious Sodinokibi/REvil code throughout a Kaseya product that allowed the Kaseya production feature to deploy REvil ransomware to “endpoints” on Kaseya client networks.”
Data on PCs belonging to companies using Kaseya software worldwide were encrypted after remote access to Kaseya endpoints was achieved and ransomware was installed on those computers.
In order to decrypt every one of Kaseya’s impacted customers, the REvil operation (also known as Sodinokibi) wanted $70 million. But once a law enforcement operation managed to access the ransomware business’s servers, the FBI was given the decryption key.
Vasinskyi is thought to be one of REvil’s long-term associates and has been involved in at least nine ransomware operations against American businesses that have been verified.
Eleven counts are supported by the indictment, which was revealed after his detention and links them to separate attacks on North American businesses.
The accusations against Vasinskyi for his acts are as follows:
conspiracy to commit fraud and similar computer-related behaviour
intentional harm to systems behind a firewall
collaborating to launder money
Vasinskyi will be imprisoned for a total of 115 years if found guilty on all counts. He will also lose all of his possessions and financial resources.
In order to remotely manage their clients’ networks, such as pushing out patches, providing remote help, and controlling the Windows domain, managed service providers utilise specialised software.
Since the beginning of the GandCrab and REvil ransomware operations, an affiliate has continuously demonstrated proficiency with MSP platforms by leveraging them to encrypt the clients of targeted MSPs.
With the help of the specific software that managed service providers employ, such as the Kaseya, ConnectWise, and WebRoot MSP platforms, successful attacks against these providers have been made possible.
The Kaseya assault may have been carried out by the same affiliate since it made use of previously undiscovered zero-day vulnerabilities and deep system knowledge.
Vasinskyi’s arrest and potential imprisonment, if he is this affiliate, will be advantageous to the MSP sector because there will be one less threat player to be concerned about.
REvil in suspense
Given that Ukraine and the United States do not currently have an extradition agreement, the Vasinkyi case is a victory for American law enforcement and the judiciary.
He is not, however, a fundamental member of the famed RaaS (ransomware as a service) group, but rather one of the countless REvil affiliates.
Two alleged REvil associates were detained on November 4, 2021, in Romania and Kuwait as part of a global law enforcement operation orchestrated by Europol and Interpol.
The Federal Security Service (FSB) announced the arrest of fourteen alleged REvil members on January 15, 2022, but the group’s top operatives are still believed to remain at large.
Even if the REvil ransomware organisation has been shut down, it wouldn’t be unexpected if some of its core members or affiliates later rebranded as a new operation.

Today, January 19, 2021, Google released Chrome 88 to the Stable desktop channel, which contains security updates and the much awaited removal of Adobe Flash Player.
Chrome 89 is the newest Beta version, Chrome 88 has been moved to the Stable channel, and Chrome 90 will be the Canary version.
Users using desktop versions of Windows, Mac, and Linux can upgrade to Chrome 88 by selecting Settings -> Help -> About Google Chrome. When a new update becomes available, the browser will then check for it automatically and install it.
Removal of Flash Player from Chrome
On January 12th, 2021, Adobe Flash Player will no longer be supported, hence Google has totally removed Flash from the browser.
Organizations will no longer be able to use Enterprise policy to re-enable Flash Player in Google Chrome as a result of this change.
Since 2017, Google has been alerting consumers to the impending demise of Adobe Flash Player and recommending businesses to stop utilising it in their environments.
With this modification, Flash Player is no longer supported by the main platform for running Flash content.
FTP support was dropped
Due to its limited usage and lack of support for proxy or encrypted (FTPS) connections, Google decided to remove FTP support (ftp:/) from Chrome.
Because only “.1-.2%” of Chrome users actually utilise the FTP protocol, Google has been attempting to get rid of it since 2014.
With the introduction of a new “chrome:/flags/#enable-ftp” flag that determines whether or not FTP support is enabled, Google started deprecating FTP support with the release of Chrome 80.
In order to ensure that there would be no issues with accessing content on FTP sites during the epidemic, Google restored FTP support once more on April 9th, reversing the previous decision to disable it by default in Chrome 81.
“We will “undeprecate” FTP on the Chrome stable channel in light of the present problem. FTP, for instance, will resume operation “Asanka Herath, a Google software engineer, commented on a Chromium issue topic.
The browser no longer offers any FTP support as of the release of Chrome 88.
enhanced controls for the dark mode
Although Google Chrome has long supported operating system dark mode settings, not all of its controls have been converted to a dark mode style. Scroll bars and form controls are some of these controls.
With Chrome 88, the browser now uses a dark mode theme to display scroll bars and form controls.
increased protection against tabbing assaults
In order to prevent “tabnabbing” assaults, Chrome 88 will automatically apply the “noopener” context to links that open in new tabs when a user clicks on them. This attack technique is referred to as “tab-napping” by Google.
A security flaw called “tabbing” enables a freshly opened page to use javascript to send the user to a different URL from the one they were originally on. Any URL the threat actor chooses, such as phishing pages or pages that automatically download malicious files, might be used as the redirected URL.
HTML links can have a rel=”noopener” property added by web designers to stop a new tab from changing the referring page using JavaScript.
With the introduction of Google Chrome today, any links that open in a new tab will instantly have the rel=”nooopener” attribute applied to them.
New Tab search demonstration
The long-awaited capability of being able to search through all of your open tabs finally arrives in Chrome 88. When activated, a small down arrow will appear in a circle, and clicking it will launch a search dialogue.
