Nova Scotia Power seeking more time to file reports on cybersecurity attack
Nova Scotia Power is requesting additional time to file monthly reports on the cybersecurity attack that compromised the personal information of hundreds of thousands of customers earlier this year. In July, the Nova Scotia Energy Board ordered Nova Scotia Power to file a full report on the cyberattack by the end of 2025. It also required the utility to file monthly updates on its response to the incident, the first of which was due on Aug. 1. However, on Aug. 1, Judith Ferguson, executive vice president of regulatory, legal and government relations for Nova Scotia Power, sent a letter to the Energy Board saying they needed 'additional process clarification' and an extension on the start date for the monthly updates. 'The Board understands that NS Power is concerned about the sensitivity of the information to be provided and intends to seek Board approval to provide some or all of the information confidentially,' the Energy Board said in a response to the letter. 'The Board agrees that the filing of the report may be delayed but directs NS Power to file any request it intends to make around confidentiality or other process issues with the Board no later than August 15, 2025.' The Energy Board previously said the report should include a timeline of the cyberattack, details on the type and amount of exposed personal information, a review of the utility's policies and practices, and recommendations to improve security measures. 'Once the report is filed, the Board will launch a public process to review both the report and NS Power's planning for and response to the incident,' a news release from the energy board said at the time. 'The Board continues to work with MNP Digital, which is independently assessing the cybersecurity incident on behalf of Board Counsel and staff. NS Power has provided a high-level briefing about the incident to MNP, Board Counsel, and staff.' Cyberattack timeline Nova Scotia Power has previously said it detected 'unusual activity' on its network on April 25. It later learned the breach happened on or around March 19. The utility told the public it was the 'victim of a sophisticated ransomware attack' on May 23. An estimated 280,000 customers were impacted by the incident, which potentially compromised personal information like names, social insurance numbers, email addresses and phone numbers. Nova Scotia Power is offering five years of free credit monitoring to all former and current customers due to the cyberattack. Along with the energy board, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner is also investigating the incident. For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page

Rare protest in China over schoolgirl beaten by teens

(AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein) A large protest erupted in the southwestern Chinese city of Jiangyou, videos on social media showed, after the beating of a young girl by three other teenagers sparked public outrage. Protests are rare in China, where any and all opposition to the ruling Communist Party and anything seen as a threat to the civil order is swiftly quashed. But bullying in the country's ultra-competitive education system has touched a public nerve, with a high-profile killing last year sparking national debate over how the law deals with juvenile offenders. On Monday, police said two teenage girls were being sent to a correctional school for assaulting and verbally abusing a 14-year-old girl surnamed Lai. The beating, which took place last month and left multiple bruises on Lai's scalp and knees, was filmed by bystanders who shared it online, police said. The onlookers and a third girl who participated in the abuse were 'criticised and educated', police said, adding that their guardians had been 'ordered to exercise strict discipline'. The case drew outrage online from some lamenting the teenagers' punishment did not go further. And later on Monday, people gathered outside the city hall in Jiangyou, in Sichuan province, with large crowds stretching around the block, footage showed. Video confirmed by AFP to have been taken outside the city hall showed at least two people forcibly pulled aside by a group of blue-shirted and plainclothes police as well as a woman in a black dress dragged away by her limbs. 'They're sweeping away citizens everywhere,' a person can be heard saying as the woman is dragged away. More footage taken after dark showed police wearing black SWAT uniforms subduing at least three people at an intersection with hundreds of bystanders. On Tuesday, the city of Jiangyou was the second top-trending topic on the X-like Weibo, before it and related hashtags were censored. 'The sentence is too light... that is why they were so arrogant,' one top-liked Weibo comment under the police statement read. On Tuesday, local authorities said on WeChat that police had punished two people for fabricating information about the school bullying case, warning the public against spreading rumours. Last year Chinese authorities vowed to crack down on school bullying after a high-profile murder case. In December, a court sentenced a teenage boy to life in prison for murdering his classmate. The suspects, all aged under 14 at the time of the murder, were accused of bullying a 13-year-old classmate over a long period before killing him in an abandoned greenhouse. Another boy was given 12 years in prison, while a third whom the court found did not harm the victim was sentenced to correctional education.
