Halliburton, a global energy company, was hit by a cyberattack leading to the exfiltration of sensitive data. While the full scope of the breach has yet to be determined, the attack is believed to be linked to the RansomHub ransomware group.
Scope
Halliburton has taken its systems offline and is working with cybersecurity experts to investigate the breach. The attack could have severe implications for the energy sector, a frequent target of ransomware groups.
Recommendations
Companies in critical industries should implement strong ransomware defense mechanisms, including offline backups, network segmentation, and incident response plans. Early detection systems, such as intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS), can also help minimize the impact of future attacks.
