4d722e4d656f77 is an unidentified threat actor alias associated with a claimed unauthorized extraction of CenterPoint Energy customer data in September 2026. The actor advertised an alleged dataset containing millions of customer records and asserted that it was obtained through an inadequately protected external-facing API. CenterPoint Energy confirmed that an unauthorized third party obtained personal information relating to some customers through an external-facing system, but did not attribute the incident, confirm the actor's claimed record volume, or validate the asserted technical details and full dataset contents. The activity targeted a United States electric and natural-gas utility and involved claimed bulk collection and exfiltration of customer personal and account information. The actor's origin, broader operational history, and motive are not publicly established.
