Russian spies spent years hacking the energy industry. Their targets worked at more than 500 different entities, including the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, according to an indictment unsealed today.

In one instance, they are alleged to have compromised the business network of Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corp. in Kansas, which runs a nuclear power plant, though a Justice Department official ,who was granted anonymity as a condition of letting reporters join a press conference, said Thursday that the control systems network was not accessed.A second indictment unsealed in the U.S.

“Russian state-sponsored hackers pose a serious and persistent threat to critical infrastructure both in the United States and around the world,” Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said in a statement on Thursday. “Although the criminal charges unsealed today reflect past activity, they make crystal clear the urgent ongoing need for American businesses to harden their defenses and remain vigilant.

“These charges show the dark art of the possible when it comes to critical infrastructure,” the Justice Department official said.
