Canadian mining executives are on the lookout after Goldcorp (G.TO) reported it was the victim of a corporate hack. 

David Garofalo, chief executive of Vancouver-based Goldcorp, wouldn’t comment on the specifics of the hack but said he has turned the matter over to police. “We don’t pay criminals so it’s a police matter at this point,” he told BNN.

The hack was reported earlier this week by information tech blog, The Daily Dot. The hackers have already released giga-bites of confidential company information, including employee compensation information, contracts and budget information, according to the report. The hackers are promising to expose more data, reported the Daily Dot.

Garofalo says he is not worried about the fallout from the release. “Any material information is in the public domain anyway because we are a public company so we are really not concerned about what data they may or may not have downloaded,” he says.

This is not the first time a Canadian resource company has been the target of cyber criminals. In 2015 Detour Gold (DGC.TO) was hacked by Russian hackers as retribution for Canadian sanctions levied against Russia.

Cyber security is a hot topic among resource company executives, says Alan Hair, President & CEO at Hudbay Minerals (HBM.TO). “(Hackers) go after anyone they can get,” he told BNN.” It was the topic of conversation this week even prior to Goldcorp.”

Cameco CEO Tim Gitzel says the Canadian uranium miner takes cyber-security very seriously. “It’s something we are concerned about buy we think we have taken steps to provide protection to our corporation,” he says. “I can tell you the board is absolutely seized by this matter - as is the management.”
