联邦选举委员会（FEC）的电子申报系统于周三下午恢复上线，该系统最初在几乎没有解释的情况下中断了近两天。
FEC electronic filing system back online after multiday outage The Federal Election Commission’s (FEC) electronic filing system was restored and online Wednesday afternoon, nearly two days after the system initially went down with little explanation.
周三美国东部时间下午5点前不久，FEC在社交平台X上发帖宣布，申报系统“已恢复上线，可供申报者使用”，并补充说，恢复该系统搜索功能和该机构通知服务的工作仍在继续。
In a post on social platform X shortly before 5 p.m. EDT Wednesday, the FEC announced the filing system was “back online and available to filers,” adding work is continuing to restore the search feature for the filing system and the agency’s notification service.
政治委员会、候选人、政治行动委员会和政党委员会使用该申报系统在线提交竞选财务和报告。申报系统中断并未影响FEC网站查找竞选捐款接收者和政治行动委员会信息的搜索功能。
The filing system is used by political committees, candidates, PACs and party committees to submit campaign finance and reports online. The filing system outage did not impact the FEC’s website search function to find campaign donation recipients and PAC information.
目前尚不清楚中断的原因，但路透社援引一封电子邮件报道称，FEC网站遭到了黑客攻击。
It is not clear what caused the outage, though Reuters, citing an email, reported the FEC website was targeted by a hacker or hackers.
该机构最初于周一晚间报告了此次中断，并表示周二大部分时间都在继续努力解决该问题。周二晚间，该机构表示问题已“查明”，正在实施修复。
The agency first reported the outage Monday night and said it was continuing to work to resolve the issue through most of Tuesday. On Tuesday evening, the agency said the issue was “identified” and a fix was being implemented.
此事发生在选举日约一周前，不过FEC在投票和选举过程中不承担任何角色。
The incident comes about a week before Election Day, though the FEC has no role in the voting and election process.
民主党FEC委员达拉·林登鲍姆在周二中断期间强调了这一点，她在X上写道：“让后面的人听得更清楚！@FEC只处理列出筹款和支出的竞选财务报告。”“我们在管理选举方面不起任何作用。我们不接收、不保存，也几乎不接触选民档案、投票机或投票事务，”她继续说道。
Democratic FEC Commissioner Dara Lindenbaum emphasized this during the outage Tuesday, writing on X, “Louder for those in the back!@FEC ONLY handles campaign finance reports which list raising and spending.”“We play zero role in administering the election. We don’t receive, maintain, or come close to dealing with voter files, voting machines or voting,” she continued.
