Halliburton Shuts Down Systems After Cyberattack
Halliburton, a major player in the oil and gas industry, has taken proactive measures to address a recent cyberattack that compromised its digital infrastructure.
The company announced on Thursday that it has shut down several of its systems in response to the breach, aiming to prevent further damage and safeguard sensitive information.
The cyberattack, which was detected earlier this week, targeted Halliburton’s internal networks and operational systems. While the company has not disclosed the specific details of the attack, it has confirmed that it is working closely with cybersecurity experts and law enforcement to investigate the incident.
“Protecting our data and systems is a top priority for Halliburton,” said a company spokesperson. “We are taking all necessary steps to ensure the security of our operations and to mitigate any potential impact on our clients and partners.”
The shutdown of systems has led to some operational disruptions, including delays in certain projects and services. Halliburton is actively communicating with affected stakeholders and has implemented contingency plans to minimize the impact on ongoing work.
The incident highlights the growing threat of cyberattacks in the energy sector, where critical infrastructure is increasingly targeted by malicious actors. Industry experts are urging companies to strengthen their cybersecurity measures and remain vigilant against potential threats.
As the investigation continues, Halliburton has assured that it will provide updates as more information becomes available. The company remains committed to restoring normal operations and ensuring the continued security of its digital assets.
