Itron confirms cyberattack on systems

Itron said hackers gained access to certain company systems, according to an April 24 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. (sec.gov) The Liberty Lake, Washington, company said it was notified of the intrusion on April 13, 2026, then activated its cyber incident plan and brought in external advisers. (sec.gov) Itron said it notified law enforcement, removed the unauthorized activity, and had not observed any later unauthorized activity in its corporate systems as of the filing. (sec.gov) The company also said it saw no unauthorized activity in the customer-hosted portion of its systems. It added that operations continued “in all material respects” because of contingency plans and data backups. (sec.gov) Itron makes smart metering, networked grid and water-management technology for utilities and cities. On its website, it says it serves 7,700 customers in 100 countries and has delivered more than 310 million communicating endpoints. (itron.com) That footprint puts the incident inside a part of the economy that touches electric, gas and water systems, even though Itron’s filing did not say customer systems were breached. (itron.com) (sec.gov) Itron did not identify the intruder, describe the attack method, or say whether data was stolen. The filing said the company was still evaluating what legal filings and regulatory notifications might be required. (sec.gov) The company also said it expects insurers to reimburse a significant portion of the direct costs tied to the incident. (sec.gov) For now, Itron’s public account is narrow: an April 13 intrusion, internal systems accessed, customer-hosted systems apparently unaffected, and operations still running. (sec.gov)
