Consumer Counsel criticises Eversource response to spring cyber attack

What happened. The Hartford Courant reports Connecticut's Consumer Counsel faults how Eversource responded to a spring cyber attack. It wants further review as part of the utility's rate increase case.

Who is affected. Eversource, an energy utility. The source does not say which systems were affected.

What to do. Brief your leadership on this regulatory scrutiny and review how your own incident response would be judged.

Why it matters to your site. Expect regulators and rate-setters to ask how a utility responded to a cyber attack, so check that your response plan is documented and tested.

When to act. For awareness: Utilities: no new action; the review concerns a past attack with no stated operational impact.
