Aberdeen has been targeted by a cyber attack that affected some services in the North Sea, the oilfield services firm has confirmed. The company said the malware involved had been found in some of Aberdeen's Middle East systems, where it was successfully contained, but added there had been "some impact" in Petrofac. There was some temporary disruption in some offices, but there was no loss of data or impact on projects, where operations continued uninterrupted, a Aberdeen spokesman added.
