Federal prosecutors unseal indictments that charge four Russian government employees in two hacking conspiracies that targeted thousands of computers in the global energy sector between 2012 and 2018.
Federal prosecutors unsealed two indictments Thursday that charge four Russian government employees in two hacking conspiracies that targeted thousands of computers in the global energy sector between 2012 and 2018.
The announcement came as U.S. officials are warning businesses to brace for possible Russian cyberattacks in retaliation for U.S. actions against Russia over the Ukraine invasion. An August 2021 Kansas indictment, United States v. Pavel Aleksandrovich Akulov, et al., details allegations about a two-phase campaign by three Russian intelligence officers to compromise the computers of hundreds of entities in the energy sector worldwide. Access to such systems would have provided the Russian government the ability to disrupt and damage computer systems at a time of its choosing, prosecutors said.
