===Itron's Smart meters allow them to collect, process, and store data without the end users' knowledge. (1980-Present)===

~~Utility~~ companies typically do not disclose to their customers what brand smart meter is being installed at their residence, what is happening with the data collected from the third party smart meter, or inform customers of the third party smart meter companies' privacy policy.

The major issue with Itron's smart meters is utility companies typically do not disclose to their customers what brand smart meter is being installed at their residence, what is happening with the data collected from the third party smart meter, or inform customers of the third party smart meter companies' privacy policy.

~~As an article from the International Energy Agency (IEA) states:~~

<blockquote>"Publicly available information on significant cybersecurity incidents is limited due to under-reporting and lack of detection. However, there is increasing evidence that cyberattacks on utilities have been growing rapidly since 2018, reaching alarmingly high levels in 2022 following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine."

There is a possibility that data from Itron's smart meters and smart grid solutions has already been leaked. As an article from the International Energy Agency (IEA) states:
