“American Halliburton oilfield services giant disclosed on Tuesday that a data breach in August led to unauthorized access and removal of information from its systems, the latest Reuters report said. Hackers gained unauthorized access to Halliburton's systems and extracted unspecified data. “
“This cyberattack was caused by the RansomHub ransomware, a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) payload that overlaps ALPHV (BlackCat) and Knight Ransomware. “
“It disrupted some of the company’s global networks and its north Houston campus business operations, affecting Halliburton's business applications and resulting in limited access to certain functions. Following the news, Halliburton's shares saw a premarket decline of 1.1%. “
