Four Russian government employees have been charged in years-old cyberattacks that targeted energy companies in the U.S. and around the world, federal prosecutors said Thursday.
TrustedSEC founder and CEO David Kennedy reacts to Biden's warning that cyberattacks are imminent on 'The Claman Countdown.'that targeted energy companies in the U.S. and around the world, federal prosecutors said Thursday.
None of the four defendants is in custody, though a Justice Department official who briefed reporters on the cases said the department determined that it was better to make the investigation public rather than wait for the "distant possibility" of arrests in the future.
The three other defendants are alleged hackers with Russia's Federal Security Service, or FSB, which conducts domestic intelligence and counterintelligence. Prosecutors say they belong to a hacking unit known to cybersecurity researchers as Dragonfly.
