CALGARY, AB, Jan. 12, 2024 /CNW/ – Clearview Resources Ltd. (“Clearview” or the “Company“) provides an update to the Company’s cybersecurity incident.
Further to its December 6, 2023 press release, Clearview experienced a cybersecurity incident whereby an internal email address was compromised and used by fraudulent actors to redirect the transfer of certain Company funds to a third-party account. The crime resulted in the loss of $1.5 million.
Upon learning of the cybersecurity incident, Clearview immediately alerted its technology provider which temporarily disabled certain information technology functions. Upon confirmation that the cybersecurity risk had been removed from Clearview’s system and the Company secured, Clearview restored its information technology functions with no material impact to operations.
Clearview continues to investigate the incident and attempt to recover these funds, including engaging third-party experts and working with law enforcement. However, due to the nature of the cybersecurity incident, these efforts may not result in the return of all or some of the stolen funds.
