Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

This row is a claim by the ransomware group DragonForce on its public extortion blog. It has not been validated by the victim or any regulator. Treat attribution and counts as the threat actor's assertion until a regulatory filing or victim disclosure corroborates them.

Post text · scraped from the leak site

In 2004, Tlingit & Haida Regional Electric Authority was re-organized to an electric cooperative which is now known as Inside Passage Electric Cooperative, Inc. IPEC is a non-profit, independent electric utility owned by the members we serve. Electric cooperatives are democratically governed businesses, ensuring they are closely regulated by their consumers. Members of electric cooperatives express higher than average levels of customer satisfaction since they put customers first because the consumers are the owners. In addition, co-ops are locally owned and operated which makes IPEC more responsive to our members since they are the owners and we are accountable to them. IPEC is governed by a board of directors elected from the membership, which sets policies and procedures that are implemented by the cooperatives’ professional staff. Our Board is committed to providing quality, dependable and affordable electric service to our members since they live in the communities they represent. IPEC currently serves Hoonah (463 services), Kake (321 services), Chilkat Valley (231 services), Angoon (227 services) and Klukwan (61 services) for a total of 1,303 customers.
