Kaseya VSA, an RMM tool, have been attacked, creating a supply-chain attack against many, many MSPs and other customers using Kaseya. In part you could say that this is due to compromised Windows servers, but IMO that's a sloppy description that invites theories about the problem being Windows security. The problem here is Kaseya's security and a supply-chain attack isn't unique to Windows.

[An MSP (Managed Service Provider)] makes experts in lower-wage locations available to companies in high-cost place. An MSP can replace a company's IT department entirely, or provide a single niche service. The industry is evolving to provide expertise to all points of the globe and makes cutting-edge technology available at a low price. [0]

How's that working for you?
