Symantec first reported on a hacking campaign by the state-sponsored group Dragonfly targeting dozens of victims in the US energy sector in 2017. But Monday marked the first time the DHS had provided detailed information about the incident in an unclassified setting, and it said the hack affected "hundreds of victims."

 

The agency said attacks began in 2016 and continued through 2017, and DHS officials said the campaign was most likely still ongoing.

 

By first penetrating the networks of power companies' trusted vendors, hackers for Dragonfly, also known as Energetic Bear, were able to access utility networks, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday, citing officials at the DHS.
