Nova Scotia Power’s Cyber Oops: What Hackers Stole and How They’re Fixing It
Nova Scotia Power’s recent cybersecurity breach is like a bad breakup: names, dates, phone numbers, and even bank details were stolen. The company assures that electricity remained uninterrupted, unlike their customers’ peace of mind. To soften the blow, they’re offering two years of free credit monitoring—because nothing says “sorry we lost your data” like complimentary identity theft insurance.
Hot Take:
Well, it seems that even the power company couldn’t keep their data from being “illuminated” by cybercriminals. Who knew electricity providers could generate such shocking headlines? Nova Scotia Power might be keeping the lights on, but they’re certainly in the dark about the specifics of this cyber heist!

- Stolen data includes names, contact details, power usage, billing information, and more.
- Both driver’s license and Social Insurance Numbers were also compromised.
- The company is offering two years of free credit monitoring to affected individuals.
