Nova Scotia Power experienced a cyberattack in March 2025, leading to the theft of sensitive customer data such as names, SSNs, and banking information.
The stolen data includes a variety of personal and financial details, posing a risk of identity theft and wire fraud for the affected customers.
The company is providing free identity theft monitoring for impacted individuals and has not found evidence of data abuse so far.
Customers are advised to stay vigilant against potential phishing attempts and unsolicited communications posing as Nova Scotia Power representatives.
