Oil India Cyber Attack

A Russian malware planted from a server in Nigeria was used for a recent cyber attack on Oil India's (OIL) system in Assam's Duliajan, which had brought down the PSU major's network, a top police official said on Friday.

Oil India Limited's field headquarters in Assam's Dibrugarh district is facing one of the biggest IT crises as a section of the desktop computers have been shut down after malwares were found in them.

PSU major Oil India Limited's registered headquarter at Duliajan in Assam's Dibrugarh district is purportedly under a cyber attack which has lead to the company shutting down all its computers and IT systems at the office.

It took Aramco, the world's biggest oil company, two weeks after the August 15 attack to restore its main internal network.
