Accordingly, no compromise to the integrity of the information has been identified, despite the external threat actor's attempts to destroy, delete, and/or encrypt data. The identities of users associated with the 3,300 accounts that were unlawfully infiltrated were not compromised, nor were any user access credentials captured. Ecopetrol S.A. also confirms that no compromise has been identified in the transactional technology solutions within its digital ecosystem, those of its subsidiaries, or those of its network of commercial and financial partners, suppliers, and customers. The company and its subsidiaries continue to carry out containment efforts, now in an advanced phase.
