What happened
CenterPoint’s SEC filing confirms an unauthorized party obtained personal information for some customers through an externally facing system. The company engaged outside specialists and notified authorities. It said electricity and gas delivery were unaffected. Customer numbers and full scope remained under investigation. This is a September disclosure backfilled during the October review, not a newly occurring October attack. The marker represents the company in Houston, not a located intrusion or damaged grid facility.
