在一份内部备忘录中,F.B.I. 表示认为黑客可能窃取了其所有员工的敏感信息。

In an internal memo, the F.B.I. said it believed the hackers may have stolen sensitive information on all of its employees.

一个犯罪黑客组织窃取了大量敏感个人数据,涉及可能数万名F.B.I. 前任和现任员工,这正成为最严重的政府敏感信息泄露事件之一,该局在不确定的最后期限临近之际匆忙保护其人员。

ft by a criminal hacking group of reams of sensitive personal data involving potentially tens of thousands of former and current F.B.I. employees is emerging as one of the worst breaches of sensitive government information, leaving the bureau rushing to protect its personnel as an uncertain deadline loomed.

在该组织(名为ShinyHunters)透露从该机构招聘门户网站窃取了有关该局人员的私密细节并威胁在网上泄露近一周后,F.B.I. 调查人员仍在拼凑泄密是如何发生的以及总损失。

Nearly a week after the group, known as ShinyHunters, revealed it had pilfered intimate details about bureau personnel from the agency’s jobs portal and threatened to leak them online, F.B.I. investigators are still piecing together how the breach took place and the total damage.

根据《纽约时报》对部分记录的分析,此次黑客攻击似乎获取了家庭住址、社会安全号码、秘密工作任务等大量信息。一些人已将其与十多年前中国从人事管理办公室窃取超过2000万条记录的事件相提并论,那次事件被认为灾难性至极,官员和议员誓言绝不让类似事件再次发生。

The hack appears to have swept up home addresses, Social Security numbers, secretive job assignments and much more, according to a New York Times analysis of some of the records. Some are already comparing it to China’s breach of more than 20 million records from the Office of Personnel Management over a decade ago, considered so catastrophic that officials and lawmakers vowed to never let something like it happen again.

据现任和前任官员称,许多F.B.I. 员工是在周二有关黑客攻击的新闻报道浮出水面时才首次得知此事。其中一人说,第二天,F.B.I. 工作人员收到一封电子邮件,提醒他们十月是网络安全意识月,鉴于此次泄密事件,这封信让一些人觉得不合时宜。

Many F.B.I. employees first learned about the hack when news reports about it surfaced on Tuesday, according to current and former officials. The next day, F.B.I. staff received an email reminding them that October is cybersecurity awareness month, which struck some as tone deaf in light of the breach, one of those people said.

周五,该局领导人在给全体员工的内部备忘录中宣布此次黑客攻击为网络安全事件,并承认其员工的个人信息被盗。

On Friday, bureau leaders, in an internal memo to its rank and file, declared the hack a cybersecurity incident and acknowledged its employees had personal information stolen.

根据这份备忘录,其中写道:“我们正在假设威胁行为者也在窃取所有F.B.I. 员工的PII。” 一位看过备忘录的人描述了这一内容,PII是个人可识别信息的缩写。

“We are operating under the premise that the threat actor is also exfiltrating PII of all F.B.I. employees,” according to the memo, which was described by someone who had seen it, using the abbreviation for personally identifiable information.
