Numerous Petro-Canada gas stations are only able to process cash transactions, as parent company Suncor works to fix what it is calling a 'cybersecurity incident' over the weekend.

CBC News has independently verified that credit payment systems are down at numerous Petro-Canada locations across Canada, but it's not known exactly how widespread the issue is or when it started. Suncor did not reply to multiple requests for comment on Monday.

The incident comes only days after the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security warned that ransomware attacks — where hackers gain access to a company's internal system and demand payment in exchange for giving it back to them — was the No. 1 cyber threat facing Canada's oil and gas sector. "Ransomware is almost certainly the primary cyber threat to the reliable supply of oil and gas to Canadians," the centre said.that rendered it impossible to process sales using anything but cash for several days back in March, and knocked the company's e-commerce platform offline for even longer.Pete Evans is the senior business writer for CBCNews.ca.
