KTRK-13 reports that local electricity provider Gexa Energy suffered a security breach that compromised personal information of customers:
If you are a customer of Gexa Energy, your personal information may have been compromised.
The personal information was compromised a year ago, but the company is only now sending out letters to consumers. Gexa officials say that’s because law enforcement asked the company to remain quiet during the investigation.
Gexa officials say they do not know how many customers’ personal information was compromised, but they are sending the letter to customers past and present and even to those who may have enrolled in a Gexa plan, but didn’t ultimately end up choosing the provider.
As a former Gexa customer, I got one of those notification letters. They were ever so helpful in letting me know I should monitor my credit. Thanks Gexa!
