The FBI said Sunday the "scale" of a major ransomware attack against a US IT company could mean investigators won't be able to work with every victim individually.

Hackers hit Kaseya, a firm that provides IT services to other companies, with a ransomware attack that could have targeted as many as 1,000 other businesses on Friday, just before the long holiday July 4 weekend in the United States.
