QEC revealed this month that a cyberattack that was identified on January 2023 had affected the company.
Information technology used by QEC, such as email, billing, and payroll databases, was impacted even if no operational technology, such as the infrastructure of a power plant, was.
Anybody who has been directly impacted by the breach will be notified, according to QEC, which also stated that an outside company is looking into the incident.
