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

Nova Scotia ends relationship with firefighter school following audit into 2019 death
A firefighter who was critically injured during a training session at the Nova Scotia Firefighters School has died from his injuries. Nova Scotia has announced Tuesday it will end its relationship with Nova Scotia Firefighters School following a value-for-money audit. 'The results are clear, and they are appalling. We are ending our relationship with the school and will set up an interim training plan for firefighters right away,' said Kim Masland, minister of Emergency Management. 'Our firefighters respond when other people's lives are on the line. They need and deserve, at minimum, a safe place to train. We're going to ensure they have one.' The audit was commissioned in June stemming from the preventable death of Skyler Blackie during a training exercise in 2019. The audit was done to help ensure the safety of students and staff at the school, a news release from the province said. Skyler Blackie Truro firefighter Skyler Blackie died from injuries sustained in a routine training session. (Facebook) 'When we lost Skyler in the line of duty, we made a promise to speak up; not just for him, but for every firefighter who deserves to come home safe. The findings of this audit are painful to read, but they reflect what we have known all along: the Nova Scotia Firefighters School is not safe,' a statement from the Blackie family said. 'We are heartbroken that it took such a loss to bring this truth to light, but we are incredibly grateful to the Government of Nova Scotia for listening, for taking our concerns seriously, and for taking action. We are also thankful to the journalists who helped us share Skyler's story and keep this crucial issue in the public eye. We remain committed to working alongside the Province to ensure strong legislation and safe, accountable training for every firefighter in Nova Scotia.' Key findings from the report include: systemic and governance issues a breakdown in safety accountability lack of stakeholder engagement inadequate governance and oversight of the executive director eroded public trust lost confidence of firefighters The province said the audit found the school failed to uphold a culture of safety. The audit also found serious, unaddressed safety-related deficiencies, a lack of strategic planning and a decline in infrastructure. 'I know what it's like to call 911 and wait for firefighters to respond. They're willing to put their lives on the line for our safety. Skyler Blackie's death was both tragic and preventable. We owe our firefighters better than that, and we have a duty to ensure this doesn't happen to another firefighter,' said John Lohr, minister of Municipal Affairs. The province said there has been no substantive change in the Nova Scotia Firefighters School board structure or governance in more than 20 years. 'We look forward to reviewing the report in detail. The fire service in Nova Scotia requires effective and consistent training to support the retention, recruitment and operational readiness of fire service members,' said Greg Jones, president of the Fire Service Association of Nova Scotia. 'This report, along with the fire and associated services governance review, is critical to gaining a full understanding of the challenges and opportunities ahead.' The value-for-money audit was done by 21FSP Advisory Inc. and cost $300,000. For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page
