VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 7, 2021 /CNW/ - Canada Energy Partners
Inc. (NEX: CE.H) (the "Company") wishes to inform the
public that it has been the victim of a phishing financial fraud
perpetrated by professional hackers in a very sophisticated scheme.
The crime resulted in the loss of $220,000.00 US from the Company's bank accounts.
The commercial bank is conducting forensic accounting audit and
trying to recover at least a portion of the funds but due to the
sophisticated nature of the hack, these efforts may not bear any
favorable results. Police have been notified and are investigating
as well.
Grant Hall, Canada Energy's
President commented, "Unfortunately we all see and read about this
type of technology hacking almost every day. We were confident that
our protocols protected us, but it seems that where there is a will
there is a way prevailed in this case and the thieves were able to
steal at least a portion of the Company's funds. We have taken
steps to vigorously tighten our financial and banking protocols
even further. We have opened new bank accounts with one
Canada's largest financial
institutions that offers an even a greater level of financial
security than we have in place at present."
Canada Energy is involved in ongoing detailed negotiations with
the Government of Gabon regarding
an oil project located in that country and those negotiations and
due diligence works are continuing with no pause.
