HOUSTON, Aug 21 (Reuters) - U.S. oilfield services firm Halliburton (HAL.N), opens new tab on Wednesday was hit by a cyberattack, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Halliburton said it was aware of an issue affecting certain systems at the company and was working to determine the cause and impact of the problem. The company was also working with "leading external experts" to fix the issue, a spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

The attack appeared to impact business operations at the company's north Houston campus, as well as some global connectivity networks, the person said, who declined to be identified because they were not authorized to speak on the record.

The company has asked some staff not to connect to internal networks, the person said.

Houston, Texas-based Halliburton is one of the largest oilfield services firms in the world, providing drilling services and equipment to major energy producers around the globe. It had nearly 48,000 employees and operated in more than 70 countries at the end of last year.



I fixed your thread for you.

"Got a couple boys from Halliburton...got a couple boys from Nabors Drilling....got a couple boys from Diamond Offshore Drilling..."

I worked as the bathroom valet for Michael’s. I like him, but unfortunately, he didn’t pay me a penny. I worked exclusively for tips and they still tried to tell me what to do. I worked for him at the Longhorn and had no issues. He is hands-on in the strip club.
