Murex Petroleum Corporation Data Breach

If so, your sensitive personal identifiable information may have been stolen!

Murex Petroleum Corporation operates 230 wells in the states of Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, with interests in five other states as well. In early January of 2026, Murex discovered that their computer network had been breached in May of 2025. This occurred as a result of a ransomware attack conducted by a cybercriminal gang who extracted data including employee names, dates of birth, home addresses, Social Security numbers, and more.

Data breaches are serious matters that can cause long term damage. Hackers break into networks so that they can steal your personal information to sell it on the dark web, commit identity theft, financial theft or other frauds. Ransomware gangs break into networks, steal private data and then demand money for its return.
