Saudi Arabia was just hit by its second cyberattack in three months.

The kingdom sent out an alert on Monday for organizations to be vigilant after a new attack targeted the labor ministry. A chemicals firm also reported a "network disruption," according to Reuters.

Sadara Chemical Co, a joint venture firm owned by Saudi Aramco and U.S. company Dow Chemical, experienced the disruption on Monday morning but said they are working to resolve the issue. The labor ministry confirmed there had been a cyberattack, but said it did not impact data.



Riyadh is specifically concerned about the virus Shamoon 2, which has previously cost the kingdom tens of thousand of computers. The virus cripples computers by wiping their disks.
