The file transfer feature to and from agent systems crashed a few times in our early days when transferring between MacOS and Windows. I would say our overall experience has been a 3/5, the alerts and information on agent workstations come in handy.
#Kaseya agent run as admin install Patch
Patch rollback is difficult and usually impossible (though this may not be Kaseya's fault). KAM in particular was so broken it caused us to dump the entire thing and switch to Webroot (though the Webroot integration module is a bad joke: it looks like an alpha product, nowhere near beta). Kaseya Anti-Virus and Kaseya Anti-Malware (which we used to use) frought with problems, in accurately reporting what was out there & in reliably installing or uininstalling packages. There should be one package that asks the user its OU based on a database that IT sets up. EVERY ONE OF THEM must be updated every time there is a new Kaseya client release (about four times a year).

If you have more than about a dozen OUs, you will see what I mean: you must create a new install package for each OU. The way installation packages are created is terrible. "View" is powerful to *use* but clumsy and unwieldy to *manage/administer* misleading word choices in scheduling boxes No one knows whether it has gone for good after being pressured by Russian authorities, or is just temporarily keeping a low profile.Persistent, unfixed, obvious GUI issues spanning years and years after being reported:

It wasn’t until July 19th that fixes were issued that restored full functionality to VSA.Īs for the Russian-based REvil gang, a ransomware-as-a-service operation with a number of affiliates who actually target and infiltrate victims, after it demanded multi-million dollar ransoms, its web sites disappeared. Some functions were disabled in the patches to get customers up and running more quickly.
#Kaseya agent run as admin install update
It took until July 12th for Kaseya to update its cloud service and return it online as well as to issue patches for the on-prem version. It was then in turn transmitted to up to 1,500 of their customers.Īlthough it was only the on-prem version of VSA that was affected, Kaseya took its cloud version of the software offline as a precaution.

The update disabled Kaseya VSA administrative access, allowing the REvil/Sodinokibi ransomware to be delivered, mostly to managed service providers. Once they’d gained access, the attackers created a fake malicious automated update called “Kaseya VSA Agent Hot-fix,” which was pushed to VSA servers in Kaseya’s clients’ networks. Most security researchers believe it was through one or more unpatched zero-day vulnerabilities within the product. It still isn’t exactly clear how the company was attacked. Obtaining a decryptor is not the end of a trying time for Kaseya after the on-premises version of its VSA remote IT monitoring suite was infected by the REvil ransomware on July 2nd. However, it doesn’t help with the cost of rebuilding PCs, servers and networks to ensure the malware has been scrubbed. Having a decryptor is a big help for organizations that didn’t have a good backup of their data or have an awkward backup process.

UPDATE: On July 26 Kaseya issued a statement “confirming in no uncertain terms” it didn’t indirectly or directly pay to obtain the decryptor. Kaseya is working with Emsisoft to support customers’ efforts, and, it says, Emsisoft has confirmed the key is effective at unlocking victims’ data. So far it has had no reports of problems. The company said Thursday it is helping impacted customers after obtaining the decryption tool from an unnamed third party. Kaseya VSA customers struggling to recover from the REvil ransomware attack earlier this month have some good news: the company has received a decryptor to unscramble encrypted data.
