Our firm has initiated an investigation into the data breach reported by Five States Energy Company, LLC in Vermont on April 2, 2026. The energy sector entity, responsible for regional resource management and utility operations, disclosed a security incident that may have compromised significant personal data.
The compromised information includes a range of highly sensitive categories such as Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Return Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, Home Address, and Phone Number.
