Petro-Canada says cyberattackers obtained Petro-Points members’ contact info

Petro-Canada has advised customers that cyberattackers accessed contact information for members of its Petro-Points program.

In a series of tweets posted Thursday, the company owned by Suncor Energy Inc. said its investigation so far has found its IT network “was accessed by an unauthorized party on or about June 21,” impacting its Petro-Points program.

“The unauthorized party obtained members' basic contact information. Out of caution, we disabled our Petro-Points systems, including our website and app, and we are conducting enhanced security monitoring,” the company wrote, advising members to “watch for any unusual emails or messages.”

“You should confirm that any request to link, download, call someone or provide personal information is legitimate.”
