FBI大规模个人数据盗窃案嫌疑人的朋友称，他曾多次警告这名青少年不要攻击该机构，并说他“疯了”“自寻死路”。
A friend of suspected FBI hack suspect Saif al-Din Khader said he warned the teen many times not to attack the bureau, calling him “crazy” and “suicidal”.
路透社称，与ShinyHunters相关的此次数据泄露事件可能影响所有FBI员工，而FBI表示正在“积极调查”此次黑客攻击，Khader目前已被约旦拘留。
Reuters says the ShinyHunters-linked breach may affect all FBI staff, while the bureau says it is “aggressively investigating” the hack and Khader is now in custody in Jordan.
前黑客Adem El Adeb（别名“Pryx”）称，他已经放弃网络犯罪，并开始创办一家网络安全公司，但他仍然表示对自己过去的黑客行为感到“自豪”。
Former hacker Adem El Adeb, known as “Pryx”, says he has quit cybercrime and is starting a cybersecurity firm, but he still says he is “proud” of his hacking past.
人工智能生成 华盛顿——一名涉嫌从FBI窃取大量个人数据的嫌疑人朋友称，他曾恳求这名青少年不要实施攻击。
AI generated WASHINGTON - A friend of the suspected thief of a massive cache of personal data from the FBI says he begged the teenager not to do it.
19岁的Adem El Adeb告诉路透社，他曾在9月份试图说服Saif al-Din Khader，称入侵FBI将招致美国政府的严厉报复，但Khader并未被说服。
Adem El Adeb, 19, told Reuters that he tried to convince Saif al-Din Khader in September that breaking into the FBI would bring the weight of the US government down on his shoulders but that Khader would not be swayed.
El Adeb回忆说，他在9月初与Khader的通信中曾对他说：“你这是自寻死路。”他表示，他曾告诉这名青少年，他“疯了”，应该放弃这个想法。
“You’re suicidal,” El Adeb recalled telling Khader in an early September message exchange. He said he told the teen he was “crazy” and that he should drop the idea.
“不止一次，而是多次。我试图劝告他。”据称由ShinyHunters黑客组织实施的此次攻击已令FBI震动，而Khader被指控在其中发挥了关键作用。
“Not only once. Multiple times. I tried to advise him.”The hack claimed by the ShinyHunters hacking group, which Khader is alleged to have played a key role in, has rocked the bureau.
El Adeb（别名“Pryx”）称自己已改过自新。路透社尚未独立核实此次数据泄露的范围，但一名了解此事的人士在9月份告诉路透社，FBI已告知员工，其调查基于被盗数据涉及所有员工的假设。
El Adeb, alias ‘Pryx’, says he has gone clean Reuters has not independently verified the scope of the breach, but the FBI has told staffers it is operating under the assumption the stolen data pertains to all its employees, a person briefed on the matter told Reuters in September.
FBI尚未回应要求就El Adeb的说法发表评论的留言。该机构曾表示，正在积极调查ShinyHunters的黑客攻击事件。
The FBI did not return a message seeking comment on El Adeb’s account. It has said it is aggressively investigating the ShinyHunters hack.
据熟悉此事的人士向路透社透露，Khader（El Adeb称其年仅17岁）于9月29日在约旦被拘留，并正在配合FBI的调查。路透社试图联系Khader、其家人或代表，但均未成功。
Khader, whom El Adeb says is 17, was taken into custody in Jordan on Sept 29 and is cooperating with the bureau’s investigation, people familiar with the matter have told Reuters.
路透社采访了卡德尔（Khader）的几位前同伙，卡德尔据称的黑客代号为“Rey”。其中包括埃尔·阿德布（El Adeb），他更为人所知的身份是其旧黑客代号“Pryx”。
Attempts by Reuters to reach Khader, members of his family or representatives for him have been unsuccessful. Reuters has spoken to a handful of former associates of Khader - whose alleged hacker nickname was Rey - including El Adeb, who is better known under his old hacker nickname, Pryx.
这两人是网络犯罪组织“Hellcat”的公开成员。该组织于2024年浮出水面，并对多起引人注目的黑客攻击事件负责，其中包括对法国施耐德电气（Schneider Electric）的入侵，当时黑客索要价值12.5万美元（约合16万新元）的法棍面包作为赎金。
The two were publicly known members of the cybercrime group Hellcat, which emerged in 2024 and took responsibility for several attention-grabbing hacks, including a break-in at France’s Schneider Electric, where the hackers demanded US$125,000 (S$160,000) worth of baguettes as ransom.
以色列网络安全研究公司Kela在2025年3月发布的一份报告中，将Rey和Pryx分别确认为卡德尔和埃尔·阿德布，路透社审阅了该报告。报告将Pryx与埃尔·阿德布联系起来的部分原因是，Pryx的犯罪活动与一个名为“Pato”的安全网站共享基础设施、软件工具和通信渠道，而该网站的一份指南曾将埃尔·阿德布列为作者。
Rey and Pryx were identified as Khader and El Adeb by the Israeli cybersecurity research firm Kela in a report circulated in March 2025 and reviewed by Reuters. The report tied Pryx to El Adeb in part by showing that Pryx’s criminal ventures shared infrastructure, software tools and communication channels with a security-focused website called Pato, whose guide once listed El Adeb as its author.
路透社通过Kela报告中列出的电子邮件地址联系到了埃尔·阿德布。在海湾酋长国拉斯海马（Ras Al Khaimah）进行的一次视频采访中，埃尔·阿德布承认自己就是Pryx，并确认卡德尔就是Rey，但他表示，与他的朋友不同，他已经告别了网络犯罪生涯。
Reuters reached El Adeb through an email address listed in Kela’s report. In a video interview from the Gulf emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, El Adeb acknowledged being Pryx and identified Khader as Rey, but he said that, unlike his friend, he had put his cybercrime days behind him.
在长达一小时的采访中，埃尔·阿德布不停地抽着阿联酋品牌“曼彻斯特红”（Manchester Red）香烟。他表示，自己在18岁之前就退出了网络犯罪，目前正与一位联合创始人筹建一家名为“VulOne”的网络安全公司。“我现在已经洗手不干了，”他说。
El Adeb, who chain-smoked the Emirati cigarette brand Manchester Red through the hour-long interview, said he quit cybercrime before he turned 18 and is now setting up a cybersecurity business called VulOne with a cofounder. “I’m clean now,” he said.
埃尔·阿德布说他出生于突尼斯，父母为了工作搬到了阿拉伯联合酋长国。他说，他和Rey在11或12岁时在网上相识，当时他们刚开始尝试黑客技术。他说，他们因共同支持巴勒斯坦事业而结缘，并曾通过破坏网站来表达他们年少时的政治倾向。
El Adeb said he was born in Tunisia and that his parents moved to the United Arab Emirates for work. He said he and Rey met online when they were 11 or 12 and beginning to experiment with hacking. He said they bonded over their shared support for the Palestinian cause and that they vandalised websites to act out their preteen political sensibilities.
“我们小时候觉得这很酷，”埃尔·阿德布说。“但后来我们长大了，不再这么想了。我们开始觉得黑客行动主义很幼稚。”埃尔·阿德布对自己的网络犯罪背景感到“自豪”。他说，赚钱才没那么幼稚。
“We thought it was cool when we were kids,” El Adeb said. “But then we grew out of it. We started to think that hacktivism is cringe.”El Adeb ‘proud’ of cybercriminal background Less cringe, he said, was making money.
埃尔·阿德布表示，哈德尔和其他年轻的网络罪犯共同组建了“地狱猫”组织，并展开了一场数字领域的肆虐行动，入侵了全球各地的组织。分析人士称，该组织引人注目的地方在于公开羞辱受害者，而埃尔·阿德布则将这种行为描述为“网络挑衅”。他拒绝透露自己从“地狱猫”的网络犯罪活动中获得了多少收入。
El Adeb said Khader and other young cybercriminals formed Hellcat and went on a digital rampage, breaking into organisations around the world. Analysts say the group was noteworthy for publicly humiliating victims, something El Adeb described as “trolling.”He declined to say how much he earned from Hellcat’s cybercrime spree.
路透社无法完全证实埃尔·阿德布关于其过往以及与哈德尔之间互动的叙述。埃尔·阿德布称，在哈德尔被拘留后，他“删除”了大部分他们的聊天记录。但他对两人关系的回忆与网络安全专家已发表的研究、埃尔·阿德布以“普瑞克斯”身份进行的采访，以及今年早些时候发布的一档包含普瑞克斯参与的播客内容相吻合。在该播客中，他表示自己已经退出了网络犯罪领域。
Reuters could not fully corroborate El Adeb’s account of his past or his exchanges with Khader. El Adeb said he “nuked” most of their messages after Khader was detained. But his recollections of their relationship line up with published research from security professionals, interviews El Adeb has conducted as Pryx and a podcast featuring Pryx released earlier this year, in which he said he had left cybercrime.
其他年轻黑客也曾公开声称自己已改过自新，但据称仍在继续黑客攻击和盗窃行为。在2025年的一次采访中，哈德尔表示他已经放弃了黑客活动。另一位涉嫌加入“ShinyHunters”组织的海客佩皮恩·范德斯塔普也多次告诉记者，他已将盗窃和敲诈勒索的过去抛在身后。他于9月15日被荷兰警方逮捕，并因涉嫌试图在国外组织谋杀案而受到调查。尝试联系范德斯塔普的代表未果。
Other young hackers have publicly claimed to have gone straight while allegedly continuing to hack and steal. In an interview in 2025, Khader said he had quit hacking. Pepijn van der Stap, another suspected ShinyHunters hacker, repeatedly told journalists he had put his days of theft and extortion behind him. He was arrested by Dutch police on Sept 15 and is being investigated over allegations that he tried to organise murders abroad. Attempts to reach representatives for Van der Stap were unsuccessful.
埃尔·阿德布坚称自己已经退出这一行当，并称自己为“退休的威胁行为者”。但他在抽着香烟的同时表示，对自己的黑客行为并不感到羞耻或后悔。
El Adeb insisted he was out of the game, describing himself as a “retired threat actor.”But between drags of his cigarette, El Adeb said he felt no shame or regret over his hacking.
“我为自己拥有这段经历而自豪，”他说，“实际上，我非常高兴和自豪，因为我在这个充满自诩懂行却从未真正体验过真实黑客活动的人们的领域里，真正拥有了网络犯罪的经历。” 路透社
“I’m proud that I had this experience,” he said. “I’m actually very happy and proud that I had actual cybercrime experience in a field that is filled with people that claim they know stuff but they never actually experienced real hacking.”REUTERS
