Halliburton, a leading oilfield services firm, announced Friday that an unauthorized third party had accessed certain systems.
The company became aware of the breach two days ago and has since initiated an internal investigation. As a protective measure, certain systems have been taken offline.
Response to the Breach:
Upon discovering the unauthorized access, Halliburton acted swiftly to mitigate any potential damage.
The company has not yet fully determined the impact of the incident but is actively working to assess the situation.
Impact on Energy Services:
Despite the breach, the U.S. Department of Energy confirmed on Thursday that the incident had not affected any Halliburton energy services.
This reassurance is critical given the company’s significant role in the energy sector.
Halliburton’s investigation into the breach is ongoing as they work to understand the full scope of the incident. Reuters first reported the Cyberattack.
