网络犯罪组织ShinyHunters上周声称对该入侵事件负责，同日FBI将其定性为重大事件。
Cybercriminal group ShinyHunters claimed credit for the breach last week, the same day the FBI declared it a major incident.
FBI调查人员认定近期针对局内招聘门户的黑客攻击构成“重大”事件——这一结论增加了网络犯罪集团早先声称其窃取了“几乎所有”FBI员工敏感个人数据的可信度。
FBI investigators have concluded a recent hack of a bureau jobs portal represents a “major” incident — a finding that lends credibility to a cybercrime group’s prior claim that it stole sensitive personal data on “nearly all” of the FBI’s staff.
据POLITICO查阅的发送给议员的通知副本显示，该局于上周二（9月22日）做出该认定，并于周五（9月25日）通知国会。
The bureau made the determination last Tuesday, Sept. 22, and informed Congress on Friday, Sept. 25, according to a copy of a notification sent to lawmakers and viewed by POLITICO.
FBI发言人Benjamin Williamson周一晚间告诉POLITICO，关于该入侵的首封全局邮件于9月22日发出，“距离公开报道出现不足12小时”。
FBI spokesperson Benjamin Williamson told POLITICO Monday evening that the first agency-wide email about the breach was sent Sept. 22, “less than 12 hours after public reporting surfaced.”
当被问及该邮件是否明确了局方当天关于黑客攻击严重性的结论时，他未予回应。
He did not respond when asked whether that email made clear the bureau’s conclusion that same day about the hack’s severity.
