斐济美国大使馆周一表示，与中国关联的黑客入侵了位于斐济苏瓦的一个地区组织的网络，并在7月和8月停留了几天。
Hackers linked to China broke into the network of a regional group based in Suva, Fiji, the US Embassy in Fiji said on Monday. They stayed inside for several days in July and August.
该大使馆同时负责基里巴斯、瑙鲁和图瓦卢，但未透露该组织的名称，也未说明黑客可能看到的数据。
The embassy, which also covers Kiribati, Nauru, and Tuvalu, did not name the group. Nor did it say what data the hackers may have seen.
美国官员已警告斐济政府和该组织注意疑似入侵，并提供了网络安全建议。
US officials warned the Fijian government and the group about the suspected breach. They also gave them advice on how to secure their networks.
大使馆称此案是更广泛趋势的一部分。它表示，与中国国家关联的黑客正在针对太平洋岛屿地区的政府、国际机构和电信网络发动攻击。
The embassy said the case was part of a wider trend. Hackers tied to the Chinese state are going after governments, international bodies, and telecoms networks across the Pacific Islands, it said in a second post.
大使馆补充说，被窃取的数据使中国间谍机构和其他方得以窥见太平洋岛国之间的私密对话，这符合美国认为中国构成持续网络威胁的观点。
Stolen data gives Chinese spy agencies and others a view into private talks between Pacific Island countries, the embassy added. It said this fits the US view that China is a constant threat online.
根据太平洋岛屿新闻协会的说法，该声明还引发了人们对该地区犯罪、腐败和外国影响的担忧。此外，美国和帕劳将共同主持太平洋地区警察部长的新会议，议题包括海上安全、毒品贩运、网络犯罪和非法金融。
The statement also raised concerns about crime, corruption, and foreign influence in the region, according to the Pacific Islands News Association. In addition, the US and Palau will co-chair a new meeting of Pacific police ministers. It will cover sea security, drug trafficking, cybercrime, and illegal finance.
“当美国与主权国家合作以保护渔业资源、培训执法人员或建设基础设施时，我们始终以真诚的伙伴身份行事，”美国国务院副部长克里斯托弗·兰道表示。
“When the United States works with sovereign nations to protect fish stocks, train law enforcement, or build infrastructure, we do so as true partners,” said Christopher Landau, the US deputy secretary of state.
此警告紧随其他近期与中国关联的案件之后。本月早些时候，美国司法部据路透社报道，查获了七个据称用于扫描和攻击关键基础设施的网络域名。
The warning follows other recent cases linked to China. Earlier this month, the US Justice Department seized seven web domains it said were used to scan and attack key infrastructure, Reuters reported.
另外，安全公司Proofpoint称，一个与中国关联的团体冒充美国AI专家，诱骗政策研究人员泄露密码。6月时，一个与中国关联的僵尸网络被发现已控制了1500台路由器和设备。
Separately, security firm Proofpoint said a China-aligned group had posed as US AI experts to trick policy researchers into giving up their passwords. In June, a China-linked botnet was found to have taken over 1,500 routers and devices.
