“7月17日,马克韦恩·马林说他要‘加大压力’。这就是你这么做的后果,”发动此次入侵的黑客活动组织“和平部”的发言人在一份网络声明中说。
"On July 17th, Markwayne Mullin said he was 'turning up the heat.' This is what happens to ICE when you do that," a spokesperson for the hacktivist group behind the breach, the Department of Peace, said in an online statement.
黑客称,他们通过攻破国土安全部的单点登录系统窃取了这些数据。声明称,该组织将这些材料分发给了“分布式拒绝秘密”组织,后者将其发布在一个名为“冰锥”的数据库中。“和平部”还将这批数据分享给了美国记者瑞安·奥蒂尼翁和化名“玛雅·纵火·克里缪”的瑞士黑客。奥蒂尼翁告诉美国国家公共电台,两人共同创建了一个可搜索的在线数据库,所有技术工作均由克里缪完成。
The hackers said they stole the data by subverting DHS's single sign on system, according to an online post. It said it distributed that material to the group Distributed Denial of Secrets, which posted it online in a database called Icepick. The Department of Peace also shared the trove of data with Ryan Ottignon, a U.S.-based journalist, and a Swiss hacker known as maia arson crimew. Together, the two created a searchable online database, with crimew doing all of the technical work, Ottignon told NPR.
“分布式拒绝秘密”联合创始人艾玛·贝斯特称此次泄露“非同寻常,但其简单程度具有欺骗性”,因为它明确建立了“负责监督秘密和卧底行动的官员……与国土安全部不断升级的引渡和驱逐项目关键人员”之间的联系。其他活动人士表示,这些信息将为调查国土安全部并提交信息自由请求的人提供极大帮助——由于缺乏姓名、电子邮件地址等具体信息,这类请求往往只能得到无用的结果。
DDoSecrets cofounder Emma Best called the leak "extraordinary but deceptive in its simplicity," because it makes explicit connections between "officials responsible for overseeing covert and undercover operations …along with key personnel in DHS's ever-escalating rendition and deportation programs." Other activists say the information will be a boon to those investigating DHS and filing freedom of information requests, which, due to a lack of specific information, like names, email addresses, can often yield useless results.
美国国土安全部在一份声明中表示,该部门“已知悉可能发生的数据泄露事件,并正在积极采取行动,迅速有效地应对这一情况”。该部门还表示,正在采取必要措施“确保所有相关人员得到妥善保护”。超过2.1万条记录标明了美国海关与边境保护局的雇员身份。另有1万条记录涉及移民与海关执法局及其国土安全调查部门的雇员。
In a statement, DHS said it was "aware of a potential breach and is actively working to address the situation swiftly and effectively." The department added that it is taking necessary steps to "ensure all are properly protected." More than 21,000 records identify employees with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Another 10,000 relate to Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees and its Homeland Security Investigations unit.
这是一次前所未有的情报泄露事件,紧随联邦调查局遭遇类似黑客攻击之后发生。
It is an unprecedented breach of intelligence, coming on the heels of similar hacking attacks at the FBI.
然而,该数据库远非完整,仅涉及国土安全部约五分之一的员工。该部门员工总数略多于22万人。
However, the database is far from comprehensive and represents about a fifth of Homeland Security's workforce, which staffs a little more than 220,000 people.
奥蒂尼翁过去曾参与类似的 data 泄露项目,他驳斥了有关他和与“和平部”或“秘密分发否认”组织有关的其他人正在对政府雇员进行“人肉搜索”的说法。
Ottignon, who has worked on similar data leak projects in the past, rejected suggestions that he and others connected to the Department of Peace or Distribution Denials of Secrets were doxing government employees.
奥蒂尼翁说:“我们面对的情况是,一群公职人员走遍城市、各州和全国各地,却试图隐藏自己的身份。他们经常戴口罩、穿便衣。而且他们对这些社区普遍做出不可言说的事情。”他还表示,他认为这种行为在自由社会中是不可接受的。
"We are in a situation in which a group of public officials go around into cities and states and all around the country, and they seek to hide who they are. Very frequently using masks, wearing plain clothes. And they do universally unspeakable things to these communities," Ottignon said. He added that he believed that kind of behavior is unacceptable in a free society.
他补充说:“我们需要对有用的政府进行监督——如果这样的政府还存在的话。所以这只是监督过程中的一步。”
"We need oversight for useful government, if it exists at all. So this is just one step in that oversight process," he added.
在附于这些文件的一份说明中,DDoSecrets写道:“他们掌握了我们的信息,那么我们也掌握他们的信息才算公平。”
In a note attached to the files, DDoSecrets wrote, "They have our information, so it's only fair that we have theirs."
