[Venezuela's National Oil Company Suffers Cyberattack] On December 15, local time, Venezuela's national oil company, PDVSA, issued a statement saying it had suffered a cyberattack aimed at disrupting its operations. The statement emphasized that the attack targeted only the administrative system, and that "operations were not affected in any way." The statement condemned the recent US military deployments and related actions in the Caribbean, explicitly stating that the attack was part of the US government's attempt to plunder Venezuela's oil resources through force and piracy. This "despicable act" was "planned by foreign powers and stateless individuals in collusion, with the aim of undermining Venezuela's right to independently develop its energy sovereignty." The US has not yet responded.
