CenterPoint Energy Data Breach: Customer Personal Information Compromised
CenterPoint Energy, a major utility provider serving millions across the U.S., confirmed in a September 2026 SEC filing that an unauthorized third party accessed and obtained customer personal information through one of its external-facing systems. The breach came to light after an online post claimed to possess a dataset of customer records. While the company’s electric and gas services remain fully operational, the incident raises serious concerns about data security for utility customers.
