Petrleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), through a statement, reported that it was the subject of a cyberattack aimed at stopping its operation and categorically rejected this action orchestrated by foreign interests in complicity with stateless factors that seek to violate the country's right to its sovereign energy development.

The state oil company explained that the operational areas were not affected, being reduced to an attack on its administrative system, thanks to the speed with which the workers acted.

Below is the full text of the statement:

Petrleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA) informs the Venezuelan people and the international community that the company was the subject of a cyber attack aimed at stopping its operations.

Thanks to PDVSA's expertise and human talent, the operational areas were not affected, being reduced to an attack on its administrative system. Therefore, the operational continuity of the industry is maintained through the implementation of secure protocols that allow its regular activities in the supply of products in the domestic market, as well as for the fulfillment of all its export commitments.

This attempted aggression is in addition to the public strategy of the U.S. government to seize Venezuelan oil through force and piracy. The working class in the hydrocarbon industry has faced attacks of this nature in the past. It was precisely their commitment, expertise and loyalty that made it possible to detect and neutralize this new attack.

Petrleos de Venezuela, S.A. categorically rejects this despicable action, orchestrated by foreign interests in complicity with stateless factors that seek to violate the country's right to its sovereign energy development. It should be remembered that this is not the first time that the United States government, allied with extremist sectors, has tried to affect national stability and steal Christmas from the Venezuelan people.

Nothing and no one will stop the victorious march of PDVSA and its working class at the service of all Venezuelans.
