Petronas Cyber Security Department Confirmed Document Disclosure to PETROS

Petronas' Cyber Security Department confirmed that former manager Mohd Khairul Akmal Mohd Jasni disclosed a confidential document, "Q1 2024 Upstream Business Performance," to Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (PETROS). This confirmation followed an internal notification process that began on December 6, 2024, after a representative from the Whistle Blowing Committee (WBC) alerted a former senior manager, Jumsuri Basri, to the alleged leak. The WBC representative provided an email containing the whistleblower's report and the leaked documents, prompting an internal review.
Internal Notification and Investigation Process

The disclosure came to light when Jumsuri Basri received a call from a WBC representative on December 6, 2024, informing him of the information leak to PETROS. Following this alert, Basri notified the Human Resources department, Petronas' Finance Division, and the Cyber Security Department to verify the information and take appropriate action. This internal communication chain initiated the process that led to the confirmation of the document's transmission.
Cyber Security Department's Verification

Subsequent checks conducted by Petronas' Cyber Security Department provided definitive evidence of the disclosure. These checks confirmed that Mohd Khairul Akmal had indeed sent the "Q1 2024 Upstream Business Performance" document to PETROS at 3:19 PM on June 8, 2024, using his official Petronas email address. The investigation also uncovered an earlier, unsuccessful attempt to send the same email at 7:19 AM on the same day, which failed due to the document's large file size.
Nature of the Disclosed Document

The document in question, "Q1 2024 Upstream Business Performance," is classified as "Internal" within Petronas. This classification signifies that the information contained within it is sensitive and cannot be shared externally without explicit approval from the Head of Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd’s Finance and Risk Department. Mohd Khairul Akmal, in his role as Manager (Business Unit Performance), was responsible for managing and consolidating financial reports for Petronas' upstream businesses, which included this performance document.
