BR: State-owned energy utility, COPEL, suffers cyberattack (UPDATED)

Posted on February 2, 2021 by Dissent

Bruno Soares reports:

Companhia Paranaense de Energia (Copel) suffered cyber attacks last night that caused instability in part of its systems.

According to the company, the operation and protection systems detected the attacks and the security protocols were followed, with the suspension of the operation of its computerized environment to protect the integrity of the information. The full assessment of what happened is ongoing and necessary steps are being taken to restore normality.
