Spanish energy giant hit by data breach

Iberdrola, a Spanish energy provider, has suffered a data breach affecting over one million customers, local reports suggest.

The breach reportedly resulted in the theft of customer ID numbers, phone numbers and home and email addresses. Fortunately, it does not seem as if financial information was stolen.


Iberdola has warned customers to watch out for phishing attempts in the wake of the breach.


The company has claimed that the attack was remediated in a day, with further attempts failing.
