When the organization that oversees Europe’s electricity market announced on Monday that hackers had infiltrated its IT network, it didn’t provide many details.
It didn’t mention how or why the intrusion began.

But a public analysis of a cybersecurity incident, which multiple people familiar with the matter said matches the details of the ENTSO-E breach, indicates that the attackers were communicating with the victim organization’s email server for more than a month.
There was repeated, high-volume communication between the server and the hackers’ malware, according to the analysis, which was published in January by threat intelligence firm Recorded Future.

An ENTSO-E spokesperson did not respond to multiple requests for comment on the Recorded Future analysis. On Monday, the spokesperson said the organization would not be commenting beyond its four-sentence statement.
Recorded Future declined to comment beyond the blog post.
