US energy firm shares how Akira ransomware hacked its systems

Please be advised that we are legal counsel to BHI Energy | Specialty Services LLC (“BHI”). We
write regarding a recent data security incident at BHI. For over 40 years, BHI Energy (“BHI”) has
provided support, including specialty services and staffing solutions, to the nuclear, fossil, hydro,
wind, and solar generation power markets. BHI is located at 97 Libbey Industrial Parkway, 4th
Floor, Weymouth, Massachusetts 02189.

On June 29, 2023, BHI’s information technology team initially identified evidence that data within
its network had been encrypted. BHI immediately initiated business continuity and security
response efforts, taking steps to isolate the involved systems to stop propagation of the incident,
while ensuring that it could continue its business operations with only minor disruption as it
responded to, investigated, and recovered from the incident. As part of that process, also on June
29, 2023, BHI retained outside counsel and, through counsel, retained an outside third party
cybersecurity firm to investigate the incident.
