Detour Gold Corporation

Detour Gold Corporation, also referred to as Detour Gold or Detour Gold Mining Corporation, is a Canadian mining company. Its primary business activity is the exploration, development, and production of gold. The company’s headquarters are located in Canada, as indicated in the organisational context. Detour Gold focuses on extracting gold from mineral deposits and delivering the product to markets that include jewellery, investment, and industrial applications. While the specific scale of its operations, such as annual production volume or number of mines, is not stated in the available information, the firm operates within the gold mining sector.

In April 2013, Detour Gold suffered a prolonged cyber intrusion carried out by hackers who identified themselves as "Angel_of_Truth". The attackers claimed the breach was retaliation against Canadian foreign policy concerning sanctions on Russia and Western alignment. Unauthorized access to the corporate network persisted for over two years, during which the intruders exfiltrated a range of sensitive data. The stolen information included employee records, medical complaints, disciplinary reports, supervisors’ personal details, incident documentation, and gold shipment specifics. Portions of the data were later released publicly, and the incident prompted external notification to the company’s IT security team, which then launched an investigation into the breach.
