A popular cybersecurity tool called Shellter Elite—ironically designed to protect systems—has been exploited by hackers to spread malware. While a patch has been released to block future attacks, the incident highlights how even security software can become a weapon in the wrong hands.
Editor’s Note: It’s a wake-up call for businesses and individuals relying on security tools—sometimes the very systems meant to defend us can be hijacked. The fact that hackers turned a protective platform into a threat underscores just how relentless and inventive cybercriminals have become. If you use Shellter Elite, updating immediately is a no-brainer. For everyone else, it’s a reminder that no defense is foolproof.
