Department of Energy says it was hacked in suspected Russian campaign

The US Department of Energy building is seen in Washington, DC, on July 22, 2019.The Department of Energy was hacked as part of a massive, ongoing campaign against the U.S. government, a spokesperson said Thursday, making it the latest confirmed agency breached by Russian spies.

"The investigation is ongoing and the response to this incident is happening in real time," DOE spokeswoman Shaylyn Hynes said in a statement. Much of the campaign came after the hacking of SolarWinds, an Austin, Texas-based firm that counts many government agencies and a number of major U.S. companies as customers. The hackers planted malicious code into software updates, which bypassed the federal cybersecurity scans.

DOE was first notified by CISA on Sunday and immediately disconnected its systems, a federal official with knowledge of the situation said. Teams there are now working around the clock to assess what, if anything, was exfiltrated, which may take weeks.
