The Energy Department and National Nuclear Security Administration, which maintains the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, have evidence that hackers accessed their networks as part of an extensive espionage operation that has affected at least half a dozen federal agencies, officials directly familiar with the matter said.
On Thursday, DOE and NNSA officials began coordinating notifications about the breach to their congressional oversight bodies after being briefed by Rocky Campione, the chief information officer at DOE.
They found suspicious activity in networks belonging to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Sandia and Los Alamos national laboratories in New Mexico and Washington, the Office of Secure Transportation and the Richland Field Office of the DOE. The hackers have been able to do more damage at FERC than the other agencies, the officials said, but did not elaborate.
Federal investigators have been combing through networks in recent days to determine what hackers had been able to access and/or steal, and officials at DOE still don’t know whether the attackers were able to access anything, the people said, noting that the investigation is ongoing and they may not know the full extent of the damage “for weeks.”

Of course the hackers got everything they wanted.
Every person with cyber security responsibility throughout the government should be charged with criminal negligence and reckless endangerment. As well as those so responsible in civilian critical infrastructure.
And hope and pray the hacker does not want to shut everything down.
Because they can now.
BiXiden’s fault.
Biden has not yet taken office.
They say Hackers, but what if this is what the Biden Crime Family was Paid for?? Maybe they had passwords.
everybody had the password.
it was solarwinds123.
It appears as though the treasonous among us may have delivered for what they have been paid.
He has the Office of the POS-elect....
I have always said what’s the point of HIPPA and all the rest of that nonsense when you put everything on the internet including your smart house and banking?
“It appears as though the treasonous among us may have delivered for what they have been paid.”
It’s more easily explained by stupidity and negligence.
Looks like Sino-Collusion to ME!
Where would we be today if the voters knew just how many STDs Clinton has?
Where would we be today if the voters could see the clock face Biden drew in his cognitive evaluation?
Where would we be today if the voters knew which antipsychotic drugs Madam Speaker is on?
Hint: there's a reason HIPPA got votes from so many senators and congress critters!
On a more serious note, OK some malware got in,,,,but it wasn't detected at Department of Treasury, DOE, or any other department in government since what, March? It took an outside company to find it?
This is not good.
Trump: This is war.
CIA: Yep NSA: Yep
Trump: What are you going to do about it?
Response: Nothing.
But of course the report today from ODNI is that there was NO hacking of the election machines. None. “Most secure election in American history.”
It was a low level ‘Secret’ network, just one step above Confidential - not Top Secret, SAP, or other which is were the good stuff lies. The real excellent stuff is not even on a network
Especially when you consider that Dominion was a customer of SolarWinds.
Yeah, I’m sure that’s what they say. I had an interaction with the lab once on a similar topic. They are not trustworthy an will happily conceal a mistake.
My money is on China.
