U.S. Indictment Details Russian Efforts To Hack Worldwide Energy Sector

The United States charged four Russian government employees in major hacking efforts targeting nuclear power plants, power companies, and oil and gas firms around the world, according to indictments made public Thursday by the Department of Justice.

The indictments have been under seal since mid-2021 but were made public to bolster growing concerns that Russia may unleash cyberattacks against the U.S., Europe and other nations that have opposed its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

In one indictment from August 2021, Justice Department officials said three hackers from Russia’s federal security service (FSB), the Kremlin’s spy agency, worked to target and compromise the energy sector so it could “disrupt and damage such computer systems at a future time of its choosing.” The hacking took place between 2012 and 2017, and targeted “thousands of computers, at hundreds of companies and organizations, in approximately 135 countries,” officials alleged.

A second indictment from June 2021 homed in on an employee of Russia’s ministry of defense and his co-conspirators, alleging Evgeny Viktorovich Gladkikh hacked a multinational energy company in 2017. Officials said the hackers installed malware that interfered with a refinery’s safety systems.

Gladkikh spent six months in 2018 researching how he could deploy a similar effort at U.S. refineries.

“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. “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.”

The four Russians are not in U.S. custody, but a Justice Department official told The Guardian that the “benefit of revealing the results of the investigation now outweighs the likelihood…

Industroyer2 malware targeting Ukrainian energy company

Industroyer2 malware targeting Ukrainian energy company

On April 12, the Ukrainian CERT (CERT-UA) reported that the Russian Sandworm Team targeted high-voltage electrical substations in Ukraine using a new variant of a malware known as Industroyer (aka Crash Override). The Sandworm Team, which is associated with the Russian GRU, previously used the original Industroyer variant to compromise Ukrainian power grids in 2016, causing a portion of Kyiv to lose power for over an hour. The new variant, dubbed Industroyer2, directly interacts with electrical utility equipment to send commands to the substation devices that control the flow of power. The threat actors planted the malware on systems within a regional Ukrainian energy firm, and were believed to have gained access in early February 2022. However, the attack was detected and mitigated before a blackout occurred, which would have impacted roughly two million people.

U.S. Law Enforcement Charges Russian Nationals In Global Energy Hacking Scheme

/in


The Department of Justice unsealed charges brought against four Russian nationals who are accused of working for the Russian government while simultaneously attempting to hack into the online infrastructure of the global energy sector.

In two indictments, the defendants are accused of hacking thousands of computers across hundreds of companies and firms in 135 individual countries participating within the energy industry.

“Russian state-sponsored hackers pose a serious and persistent threat to critical infrastructure both in the United States and around the world,” said Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco. “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.”

The prosecutors allege that three officers of Russia’s Federal Security Service and other co-conspirators targeted software systems in the global energy sector to give the Russian government the ability to compromise the overall industry.

One indictment alleges that Pavel Aleksandrovich Akulov, 36, Mikhail Mikhailovich Gavrilov, 42, and Marat Valeryevich Tyukov, 39, of engaging in a two-part hacking attempt to further the Russian state agenda, targeting international oil and gas companies between 2012 and 2017. They allegedly targeted hardware and software devices that control power generation equipment. 

The hacking infected legitimate software updates with malware to provide a “backdoor” entrance for hackers to access infected networks. 

The second phase involved targeting individuals and engineers with spearphishing attacks—some of which were successful—and infecting sites commonly visited by energy sector engineers with malware.

The defendants are charged with conspiracy to cause damage to the property of an energy facility and commit computer fraud and abuse, and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Akulov and Gavrilov are also charged with multiple counts of wire fraud and illegally obtaining information stored on computer networks. Akulov and Gavrilov also face three counts of aggravated identity theft.

In the second indictment, Evgeny Viktorovich Gladkikh, 36, is accused of…
