Some of Petroleos Mexicanos’s communication systems are still affected two weeks after a cyberattack hit Mexico’s beleaguered state oil firm.
For some employees, internet access is limited, some computer files aren’t accessible and they are having difficulty receiving external emails to corporate accounts, according to people in Pemex’s finance, legal and refining departments who asked not to be identified because they aren’t permitted to speak with the press. Patches have been put in place to prevent the spread of the virus, slowing employees’ computers, they said.
