Summary

Hide ▲

PDVSA faced a reported cyberattack against its administrative systems, with outside accounts saying the disruption affected cargo delivery and suspended loading instructions for exports. The company said its operational continuity was preserved, but other reports described considerable disruption and systems being taken down. The incident matters because PDVSA is Venezuela's state-owned oil company and any compromise can threaten export operations and national energy logistics.

    PDVSA downplays reported cyberattack impact

    Initial Disclosure

    PDVSA said a suspected cyberattack caused no operational disruption and was limited to administrative systems, while Reuters and Bloomberg sources described broader effects at the Venezuelan state oil company, including systems being taken down, employees being told to disconnect and shut down their systems, and export loading instructions remaining suspended. One source said the disruption followed efforts to use antivirus software to remediate a ransomware attack from a few days earlier.
