According to the company, the accessed information is related to those accounts, though it does not specify in the available reports whether the attackers obtained passwords, financial details, or other sensitive data. Ecopetrol attributes the incident to unauthorized access and says it has taken steps to address the situation, including investigating what was taken and how the intrusion occurred.

The incident follows ongoing global attention on cyber intrusions targeting large firms, including those in the energy sector. Ecopetrol’s disclosures are intended to inform affected account holders and outline the scope of the data involved, while investigation and remediation continue.
