Eversource, the largest energy supplier in New England, has suffered a data breach after customers' personal information was exposed on an unsecured cloud server.

According to the FAQ shared with BleepingComputer, Eversource performed a security review on March 16th and found a "cloud data storage folder" that was misconfigured so that anyone could access its contents. When they discovered the unsecured folder, they immediately secured it and began investigating what data was stored on the folder.

While this may be true, BleepingComputer recommends that users sign up for the free identify theft monitoring offered by Eversource to be alerted if their social security number is fraudulently used.
