At the moment, the Fill & Go service both for fleets and for individuals is functional in Romania, respectively card and ring power supply.

“We note that the operational activity of the Petromidia and Vega refineries has not been affected by this cyber attack, and the planned technological overhaul will take place between March 11 and April 3. Throughout this period, the company will continue to honor its contractual obligations, product deliveries to customers being provided from own stocks or with the support of the trading division of the KMG International Group. We are optimistic that we will successfully implement all measures to restore digital systems, with the company already having a complex cyber security solution installed at the server level. We have also taken additional measures to secure the recovered data,” the company said.

During this process, Rompetrol provided the responsible authorities with the necessary and useful information to help prevent such situations at the local level, given the growing number of cyber threats, amid intense digitalization in recent years.
