(Calgary) The cyberattack, which affected Suncor Energy and its Petro-Canada chain of gas stations, allowed hackers to access certain data on its customers, the oil major said on Thursday.
The Calgary-based energy company said the cybercriminals accessed the company’s Petro Points rewards program and obtained members’ basic contact information.
Suncor said it will notify Petro Points members and data protection authorities and will notify affected parties if it determines that additional information has been collected.
The company continues to investigate the cyberattack, which it says took place on or about June 21.
The safety and reliability of Suncor’s oil and gas operations have not been compromised.
Many Petro Canada locations across the country were unable to accept cash only payments for several days last week due to the cybersecurity breach, and the Petro Points app, website and some company car washes were also temporarily unavailable.
