Empresa Provincial de Energía de Córdoba

Theorganisation, known as Empresa Provincial de Energía de Córdoba (EPEC), is headquartered in Argentina and operates as the provincial energy utility for Córdoba. Its core activities involve the generation, transmission, distribution, and commercialization of electricity within the province. It serves residential, commercial, and industrial customers across the region. As a state‑owned entity, it functions under the oversight of national and provincial energy regulators. The company’s mandate is to provide a reliable and continuous supply of electrical power to support local economic activity and public welfare. EPEC is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the provincial electricity transmission and distribution networks.

EPEC maintains a digital presence on social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook to communicate with users and share service information, as demonstrated by the incident on 9 August 2025 when those accounts were compromised and used to post unauthorized content. The breach prompted the company to acknowledge the incident, mobilize its technical team and security experts, and work toward regaining full control of the accounts while noting that its X (formerly Twitter) page had been restored. Following the breach, EPEC issued recommendations to users on how to protect their accounts and stay informed. The origin and motives behind the attack remain unknown, and the company continues to investigate the event. These facts constitute the publicly available information about the organisation’s operations and recent cybersecurity incident.
