The organization announced that its IT teams have determined that the threat actors exploited an unpatched vulnerability to drop malware that allowed access to one workstation using an HTTPS reverse shell, encrypting systems critical to ELTA’s business operation. ELTA is currently unable to process mail, bill payments or any form of financial transaction orders with no estimate of when these services will be made available again.
