The REvil ransomware gang is asking for a $70 million ransom payment to publish a universal decryptor that can unlock all computers locked during the Kaseya incident that took place this past Friday, The Record has learned.

In a message posted on their dark web blog, the REvil gang officially took credit for the attack for the first time and claimed they locked more than one million systems during the Kaseya incident.

On Friday (02.07.2021) we launched an attack on MSP providers. More than a million systems were infected. If anyone wants to negotiate about universal decryptor – our price is 70 000 000$ in BTC and we will publish publicly decryptor that decrypts files of all victims, so everyone will be able to recover from attack in less than an hour. If you are interested in such deal – contact us using victims “readme” file instructions.

A Kaseya spokesperson was not on hand to comment if the company would be considering paying the REvil gang’s ransom demand.
