Halliburton Hit By Cyber Attack

Oilfield services giant, Halliburton, reported in an 8-K public filing that it was recently affected by a cyber attack which allowed the public to gain access to its internal systems. Upon becoming aware of the attack, the company took steps to shut down other internal systems, apparently to prevent the intruder from gaining further access into other internal systems. The company said it is working to uncover the extent and nature of the attack.

Halliburton was originally founded in 1919, and is one of the largest oilfield services company in the world today, with total employee count of 48,000 and 2023 revenue of $23 billion.
