Security News > 2022 > March > Greece's public postal service offline due to ransomware attack
ELTA, the state-owned provider of postal services in Greece, has disclosed a ransomware incident detected on Sunday that is still keeping most of the organizations services offline.
An initial statement about the attack came on Monday, when ELTA announced the cause of a service disruption, claiming that its immediate response and isolation of the entire data center has helped mitigate the impact.
In a new announcement today, the organization has shared more details about the incident and updated its customers about the extent of the service outages.
Currently, ELTA can't offer services of mail post, bill payments, or process any form of financial transaction order.
On the ELTA Facebook page, users are also reporting problems tracking their parcels and not having access to the web labeling services.
Until all systems have been checked and services return to normal, the agency has advised customers to use its subsidiary instead, ELTA Courier, which has not been impacted by the cyberattack.
