“We can confirm that an IT incident has occurred at Pengerang Independent Terminals (PTSB) in Malaysia,” a Vopak spokesperson said. "Unauthorized persons have gained access to our data," Vopak confirms. “The incident is under investigation and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.” The company remains operational.
