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.

You become infected with RedLine malware through fake Windows 11 upgrade installers.
Users of Windows 10 have begun to get phoney Windows 11 upgrade installers, tricking them into downloading and running RedLine stealer software.
The attacks took place at the same time that Microsoft announced the broad deployment phase for Windows 11. As a result, the attackers were well-prepared for this move and waited for the ideal time to maximise the effectiveness of their operation.
As the most extensively used password, browser cookie, credit card, and cryptocurrency wallet information thief at the moment, RedLine stealer infections can have serious negative effects on the victims.
The initiative
The attackers exploited the “windows-upgraded.com” domain for the malware distribution portion of their campaign, according to HP experts who have detected this effort.
When a visitor selected the “Download Now” button on the website, a 1.5 MB ZIP archive with the name “Windows11InstallationAssistant.zip” was downloaded directly from a Discord CDN. The website looks to be an official Microsoft website.
Decompressing the file yields a folder with a size of 753MB and a remarkable compression ratio of 99.8%, which was made possible by the executable’s inclusion of padding.
An encoded parameter starts a PowerShell process when the victim runs the programme in the folder.
A.jpg file is then retrieved from a distant web server when a cmd.exe process with a 21-second timeout has finished running.
The DLL in this file is organised in reverse, maybe to avoid detection and analysis.
The first process then loads the DLL and swaps it out for the current thread context. That DLL is a RedLine stealer payload that uses a TCP connection to communicate with the command-and-control server to receive instructions on what malicious operations should be performed next on the recently compromised system.
Outlook
Nothing prevents the actors from registering a new domain and continuing their campaign even though the distribution site is currently unavailable. In fact, it’s quite likely that this is already taking place in nature.
Due to hardware compatibility issues, many Windows 10 customers are unable to download Windows 11 via the official distribution channels. Malware operators see this as a great opportunity to recruit new victims.
The strategies disclosed by HP are not surprising at this time, as threat actors are also use Windows’ legitimate update clients to execute malicious code on compromised Windows systems, as BleepingComputer discovered in January.
Remember that these risky websites are advertised through forum postings, posts on social media, and instant messages, so only rely on the official Windows upgrade system alerts.
