Cyberattack on Suncor Energy Affects Petro-Canada Gas Stations

 

Customers have been reporting issues with Petro-Canada’s loyalty and payment programmes for almost a week now, but the company maintains it is working to find solutions. 

Around a week ago, reports that the parent company Suncor had been hacked surfaced, sparking problems within the company. 

Suncor confirmed having a “cybersecurity incident” over the weekend and highlighted that, despite being certain that no employee or customer data had been stolen, “some transactions with customers and suppliers may be impacted.”

One of the first sites where such disruptions were discovered was at Petro-Canada, where the chain’s more than 1,500 outlets across the country were experiencing difficulties processing debit and credit payments. Other services affected include the loyalty programme app Petro-Points and a car wash-related service.
