华盛顿,10月3日——据三位知情人士告诉路透社,ShinyHunters黑客组织的关键成员本周在约旦被捕。该组织声称窃取了所有FBI员工的数据。

WASHINGTON, Oct 3 - A key member of the ShinyHunters hacking group, which claims to have stolen data on every FBI employee, was detained this week in Jordan, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

其中两名消息人士表示,他正在与FBI合作,以协助识别其他黑客成员。

Two of the sources said he was cooperating with the FBI to identify his fellow hackers.

据三位消息人士透露,Saif al-Din Khader被约旦当局拘留,其中两人称他于周二被捕。路透社暂时无法确定Khader被捕的具体情况或目前的下落。

Saif al-Din Khader was detained by Jordanian authorities, the three sources said. Two of them said he was brought into custody on Tuesday. Reuters could not immediately determine the circumstances of Khader’s detention or his current whereabouts.

两名消息人士表示,他正在协助FBI和全球执法机构寻找该组织中的其他黑客。

Two sources said that he is helping the FBI and global law enforcement locate the other hackers in the group.

FBI拒绝就任何具体的海外逮捕或行动发表评论,但表示将继续积极调查这起涉嫌涉及ShinyHunters的网络事件,并已与合作伙伴合作逮捕了多名嫌疑人——我们将不遗余力地将所有责任人绳之以法。

The FBI declined to comment on any specific arrest or activity abroad but said that the bureau "continues to aggressively investigate the recent cyber incident allegedly involving ShinyHunters, having already worked with partners to arrest multiple subjects — and we will spare no resource in bringing each of the responsible individuals to justice."

在过去一周半的时间里,路透社试图联系Khader及其家人,但未能成功。

Reuters’ attempts to reach Khader and members of his family over the past week and a half have been unsuccessful.

Khader的被捕是ShinyHunters案件中的最新进展。

专家认为,这个黑客组织主要由年轻、会说英语的人组成,专门从事数据盗窃和勒索活动。

The detention of Khader — whose alleged hacker nickname is Rey — is the latest twist in the case of ShinyHunters, a motley crew believed by experts to consist mainly of young, English-speaking hackers focused on data theft and extortion.

他们声称窃取了大量FBI员工的数据,这一行为让人联想到2015年发生的、据称与中国有关联的入侵事件,那次事件导致数百万美国人的安全审查敏感信息被泄露。

Their theft of what they claim are mountains of data on every single FBI employee has drawn comparisons to the allegedly Chinese-linked intrusion at the US Office of Personnel Management in 2015, which compromised sensitive details on millions of Americans who had been vetted for security clearances.
