Educational & easy-to consume visual guides to understanding attacks & enhancing resilience
Halliburton, one of the largest Oilfield Services Companies globally, announced that an unauthorised third party had infiltrated some of its systems. In a day, it was verified that the breach was a cyber attack, leading to disruptions in Halliburton's operations.
The $23-billion oil drilling and fracking powerhouse which employs nearly 48,000 people, allegedly negotiated with the ransomware hackers under intense pressure from its stakeholders. The company also launched an investigation with the support of external advisors to assess and remediate the unauthorised activity. However, many employees claimed that they did lose access to critical systems as a result of the attack.
