Elbit Systems of America

Elbit Systems of America suffered a data breach incident after it was targeted in a ransomware attack by the Black Basta ransomware gang.

The Elbit Systems of America noticed unusual activity on its network and it immediately shut down its network and took steps to secure the environment.

The attacker acquired information belonging to certain employees, including name, address, social security number, date of birth, direct deposit information, and ethnicity.

Elbit Systems notified the impacted individuals and offered 12 months of free identity protection and credit monitoring services.

The Black Basta website also displayed a few documents allegedly stolen from the defence contractor, including a payroll report, an audit report, a confidentiality agreement, and a non-disclosure agreement.
