Since the day of the Kaseya attack, I have been warning that this looked like another supply chain attack, similar to SolarWinds.

This is why it is ballooning, from 40 customers to over 1000, and it may still grow further, as it targets service providers.
theverge.com/2021/7/2/22561…
It was wise for Kaseya to shut down its cloud services, and to tell customers to shut down their VSA servers.

This likely reduced infections significantly, but when some of your customers host customers of their own, this has a ripple effect. Image
I started this thread as soon as we learned about the attack. It includes links to other threads that have more information.

Independent investigators have attributed the attack to the Russian REvil hacking group.

🚨 Ransomware incident in progress.

If you run a Kaseya VSA server, Kaseya is recommending that you shut it down right now, because the first thing that the attack does is take away your admin access.

Kaseya VSA is a remote monitoring and management product.

The details aren’t clear yet, but this could potentially be another supply chain attack, similar to (but not nearly as large/impactful as) the SolarWinds hack.
Here is a running thread with updates - follow this:

This insurrectionist, Aguero, is a close friend of Marjorie Taylor Greene, and has worked with her on projects for years.

Also, Buckley Carlson, the RSC spokesman quoted in this thread claiming that Aguero’s presence was “incidental,” is Tucker Carlson’s brother.
Aguero and MTG about each other: “amazing,” “one of my closest friends.”
Aguero helped MTG make this video.

The father of Rudy’s friend Derkach (Ukraine’s Putin) was recorded discussing this journalist before he was kidnapped, killed and decapitated.

Ukraine's Supreme Court Rejects Appeal Of Ex-Cop Convicted In Murder Of Journalist Gongadze

Rudy & the GOP worked with Andriy Derkach to smear the Biden family.

His father, Leonid Derkach, was the head of Ukraine’s security services.

Leonid promised to “crush” and “take care of” the journalist, who was kidnapped and beheaded three months later.

This recording of Biden discussing Shokin that Giuliani, Parscale and others used in attempts to smear Biden with misleading stories, came from Andriy Derkach.

The same Derkach whose father planned the beheading of a journalist who ‘mouthed off.’

Trump’s new app received its initial seed funding from Guo Wengui’s family foundation.

A host on Guo’s GNews site said Gettr was “the concentration of Miles’s whole life work.” The host added that Guo had come up with the idea for Gettr’s logo, a torch.

thedailybeast.com/trumpworld-app…
Two weeks ago, a bizarre ad for Gettr was posted on GTV’s video channel.
…
The ad promises that Gettr will be “gossipy” and feature “virus truth,” [referencing] Guo’s claims that the Chinese government was behind the coronavirus pandemic. Videos of Guo appear prominently
Some accounts on the platform already have hundreds of thousands of followers - a far higher count than the number of people who have actually downloaded the app.

This is likely due to its connection with Guo’s GNews network - not to imports from Twitter or other platforms.

How many corruption investigations are active/ongoing across the country right now?

Here are three GOP lawmakers in Tennessee who had their homes raided in January, two days after the insurrection.
And then there is the Joel Greenberg/Matt Gaetz/(Pirozzolo?) investigation which, in addition to sex trafficking, sounds like it may be diving into broader corruption in FL politics, and corruption in the cannabis/marijuana market.
There is an investigation into the massive, multimillion dollar bribery scheme around HB-6 in OH, which even involves a suspicious death by a former partner in FL (and I believe also has a connection to a GOP fundraiser in Kentucky).
