National Detergent Company in Oman Hit by Cyberattack

Posted on January 14, 2021 by Dissent

An Omani company has been exposed to a cyber attack which resulted in loss of some of its data.

In a disclosure published by the Muscat Securities Market said: “The National Detergent company want to informs you of its exposure to an electronic attack on the company’s information technology network that caused the loss of some electronic data. It also informs you that there is no financial impact on the company as it keeps the lost electronic data manually.”

At first, I thought there was some translation issue, as “National Detergent Company” didn’t sound like a real name. But it is.  National Detergent Company in Oman describes itself as one of the leading manufacturing companies in the Sultanate of Oman. It manufactures and distributes a wide range of  brands covering various segments like detergent powders, liquid detergents, soaps, shampoos, allied laundry aids and other household cleaners.
