Halliburton has confirmed it was a victim of a cyberattack late last week and it was forced to remove some of its systems offline.
The company revealed the attack in a filing and explained it discovered the intrusion on Wednesday that an ” “unauthorized third party gained access to certain of its systems.”
Reuters reported the company added that it wasted no time and immediately “activated its cybersecurity response plan and launched an investigation internally with the support of external advisers to assess and remediate the unauthorized activity.”
It is unknown whether the cyberattack also affected Halliburton’s operations with offices in Duncan, Oklahoma where the firm once was headquartered.
