Long Son Petrochemicals

Long Son Petrochemicals, also known as Long Son Petrochemical Complex, is a petrochemical complex situated in Vietnam. The facility operates within the petrochemical sector, focusing on the processing of hydrocarbon feedstocks into chemical products. As part of Vietnam's state‑owned oil and gas group, it contributes to the country's downstream energy and industrial capabilities. The complex serves both domestic markets and, where applicable, international customers requiring petrochemical materials. Its operations are integrated into the broader supply chain of Vietnam's energy industry.

A distinguishing attribute of Long Son Petrochemicals is its linkage to the state‑owned oil and gas conglomerate, which shapes its strategic orientation and regulatory environment. The complex gained public attention due to a cyber incident on 14 March 2023, when a user named Kernelware leaked corporate schematics, infrastructure blueprints, employee information, and legal agreements on BreachForums. The attacker stated the release was made without financial motive, citing personal amusement, and noted that affiliated entities beyond the primary three organizations were also affected. This event highlights the extent of the complex's digital and physical assets, as the exposed data included detailed infrastructure diagrams. Structurally, Long Son Petrochemicals functions as a subsidiary or affiliate of the state‑owned oil and gas group and maintains operational ties with several affiliated firms that were referenced in the breach. These relationships underscore its role within a network of state‑linked enterprises operating in Vietnam's energy and chemical sectors.
