Next week, on May 30th the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) opens the 10th International Conference on Cyber Conflict, CyCon 2018. The anniversary event focuses on the theme of maximising effects in the cyber domain.

The Prime Minister of Romania, Mrs. Viorica Dăncilă, announced today during her visit to Estonia that Romania looks forward to joining NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) in 2019. NATO-accredited cyber defence hub in Tallinn welcomes the decision of Romania to become another NATO Ally to join the Centre.

As of 1 September 2018 Colonel Jaak Tarien, former Commander of Estonian Air Force for the past six years, will assume the role of Director of the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence based in Estonia.

Merle Maigre, current Director of CCDCOE, will take on a new challenge in September by joining CybExer Technologies, an Estonian cyber security company which is rapidly expanding its operations both in Estonia and abroad.

Colonel Jaak Tarien, until recently the long-term Commander of Estonian Air Force, assumed today from Merle Maigre the role of Director of the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence based in Tallinn.

The Call for CyCon 2019 Papers is open until 1 October 2018. The theme for the eleventh International Conference on Cyber Conflict, hosted by the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence, is ‘Silent Battle’. CyCon 2019 will take place in Tallinn, Estonia, from 28 to 31 May 2019.

The International Conference on Cyber Conflict, CyCon, is entering its second decade. Throughout the years, CyCon has established itself as a prominent multidisciplinary conference, introducing keynotes and panels focusing on the technical, legal, policy, strategy and military perspectives of cyber defence and security. This is undoubtedly thanks to the amount of high-quality original academic research presented at the conference. In 2018, the Academic Review Committee selected 22 articles that were presented at the conference and published in the proceedings.

The NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence contributes this week to the setup and organisation of NATO’s largest cyber exercise Cyber Coalition 2018 taking place in Tartu, Estonia. This year, the experts of the Centre contributed to the operational and legal part of the exercise scenario, adding respective challenges to the participating cyber experts across the Alliance.

The regulated utility company CenterPoint Energy says a data breach exposed the personal information of more than 1 million people in Texas.

CenterPoint Energy is a regulated utility company used to deliver natural gas and electricity infrastructure, maintain power grids and pipelines, and restore service across parts of Texas, Indiana, Ohio, and Minnesota.

The organization disclosed a data breach affecting more than 1 million people in Texas. This week, CenterPoint Energy told the Texas Attorney General’s Office that the breach affected 1,062,060 Texas residents. The company does not appear to have notified the affected individuals by letter.

“More than one million Texans were affected by a CenterPoint Energy data breach that compromised sensitive personal information, according to newly published information from the Texas Attorney General’s Office.” reported the broadcast Click2Huston. “The state’s data breach database lists 1,062,060 Texans as being affected. The information involved includes customers’ names, addresses, Social Security information and driver’s-license numbers.”

Days before the first disclosure, on September 12, a threat actor using the alias “4d722e4d656f77” claimed on a cybercrime forum to have extracted roughly 7.49 million customer records from CenterPoint Energy.

“In September 2026, CenterPoint Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) became aware of an online post by a third party claiming to have obtained a data set containing certain of the Company’s customer information.” reads the FORM 8-K report filed with SEC.”While the investigation remains ongoing, the Company has determined that an unauthorized third party obtained personal information relating to a portion of the Company’s customers through one of the Company’s external facing systems (the “Incident”).”

The hacker claimed the theft of names, phone numbers, service and billing addresses, account numbers, billing amounts, payment status, and partial Social Security numbers. He offered a 2.5 GB archive for download. The attacker warned that “next time we won’t simply pull data, we’ll start attacking the main infrastructure,” a line that reads well on a forum but should still be taken seriously by any critical infrastructure operator.

The attackers claimed they stole over the records through an API they say lacked proper WAF protection, rate limiting, and authentication. They also claimed the company tried to stop the data dump only after millions of records had been extracted.

“CenterPoint Energy continues to actively investigate the cybersecurity incident disclosed last month. Upon learning of the issue, CenterPoint activated our incident response procedures and engaged external cybersecurity, forensic, and legal advisors to assist with the investigation.” a spokesperson for CenterPoint said on Wednesday. “We continue to work with third-party experts to assess the scope of affected customer data to identify which customers will be provided notifications in accordance with applicable legal requirements.”
