Marine services giant Swire Pacific Offshore (SPO) has suffered a Clop ransomware attack that allowed threat actors to steal company data.
Swire Pacific Offshore discovered an unauthorized network infiltration onto its IT systems, resulting in the compromise of some employee data.
"Swire Pacific Offshore (SPO) has discovered that it was the target of a cyberattack which involved unauthorised access to its IT systems," Swire Pacific Offshore said in a statement to BleepingComputer.
"The unauthorised access has resulted in the loss of some confidential proprietary commercial information and has resulted in the loss of some personal data. The cyberattack has not materially affected SPO's global operations."
As the company clarified, the cyberattack hasn't affected SPO's global operations, and neither has it resulted in the loss of confidential information.
The firm has reported the incident to the relevant authorities and continues to investigate with the help of external experts to determine the exact scope and impact.
