Georgia Power is investigating an unauthorized data breach that may have accessed some of its customers' information.
In an email sent to some Georgia Power customers, the company said that it detected unauthorized activity by a third party on some accounts recently.
The company said that the unauthorized party had access to some information connected to accounts, including names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and the last four digits of social security numbers. The breach did not allow the third party to see information such as bank account, payment card or driver's license numbers, Georgia Power said.
"Upon detection, we took immediate steps to stop the activity. We have engaged law enforcement and are conducting a thorough investigation," the email read in part.
