Executives at Miami-based Kaseya Ltd. were warned of critical security flaws in its software before a ransomware attack this month that affected as many as 1,500 companies, according to five former employees.
On several occasions from 2017 to 2020, employees at Kaseya’s offices in the U.S. said they flagged wide-ranging cybersecurity concerns to company leaders. But those issues often weren’t fully addressed, according to the workers, who were employed in software engineering and development at Kaseya and asked not to be identified because they had signed non-disclosure agreements or feared professional retribution.
