比利时财政与税务机构在遭受网络攻击后,已将“多项”数字服务下线。比利时联邦财政公共服务部(FOD Financiën)于周三证实了此次攻击,称该机构的主要在线税务门户MyMinfin以及其他在线服务在启动初步调查期间暂时无法使用。该机构在一份公开声明中表示:“这一措施有助于限制风险,并使得执行必要的技术干预以确保我们系统的安全成为可能。”
Belgium's finance and tax agency has pulled "several" digital services offline after a cyberattack on the organization. FOD Financiën confirmed the attack on Wednesday, saying that MyMinfin, the agency's main online tax portal, as well as other online services, are temporarily unavailable while they start the initial investigations. "This measure helps limit the risks and makes it possible to carry out the necessary technical interventions to ensure the security of our systems," it said in a public announcement.
FOD Financiën还补充说,“这将对近期的税务截止日期产生影响”,指的是10月31日这一延长的截止日期,适用于特定类型收入的纳税申报,例如个体经营者和来自外国公司的收入。该机构确认,截止日期将延长至11月16日,届时MyMinfin——此类申报通常通过该平台提交——应已恢复运行。公开声明中提供的细节反映出调查尚处于早期阶段;目前所知不多,尽管没有任何迹象表明数据遭到泄露。
FOD Financiën added that "this has consequences for tax deadlines in the near future," referring to the October 31 extended deadline to submit tax filings for specific types of income, such as sole traders and earnings from foreign companies. The agency confirmed the deadline will be extended to November 16, by which time MyMinfin, the platform through which such filings would normally be submitted, should be back up and running. The detail offered up in the public statement reflects the early stage of the investigation; not much is known, although there is nothing to suggest data was compromised. "Data protection is a top priority for the FOD Financiën," it said. "At present, there are no indications that a data breach has occurred or that data has been compromised.
该机构表示:“数据保护是FOD Financiën的首要任务。目前,没有迹象表明发生了数据泄露或数据遭到入侵。这一方面也正在被密切调查和跟进。与此同时,我们其他大部分应用程序仍以全部或部分功能可用。我们正在密切关注事态发展,并尽一切努力尽快使受影响的服务恢复可用。”发言人弗朗西斯·阿丁斯(Francis Adyns)告诉当地新闻媒体,此次攻击在数小时内被挫败,攻击未能获取应用程序或数据的访问权限。
This aspect is also being closely investigated and followed up. "In the meantime, a large part of our other applications remains available with full or partial functionality. We are closely monitoring the situation and doing everything we can to make the affected services available again as soon as possible." Spokesperson Francis Adyns told local news outlets that the attack was thwarted within hours, and that it was unable to gain access to applications or data.
他告诉《新闻报》(Nieuwsblad):“此次攻击未能在我们的环境中充分扩展,以接管应用程序或获取数据访问权限。可能被感染的元素已被隔离。”
"The attack could not be sufficiently expanded within our environment to take over applications or gain access to data," he told Nieuwsblad. "Elements that were potentially infected were isolated.
结果,MyMinfin、Tax-on-web和Biztax下线,但黑客攻击被成功阻止。“各项服务必须在隔离环境中恢复。这需要相当长的时间才能实现,并且需要必要的谨慎以排除新的风险。”®
As a result, MyMinfin, Tax-on-web, and Biztax went offline, but the hacking was successfully stopped. "The various services must be restored in an isolated environment. This requires considerable time to realize, with the necessary caution to rule out new risks." ®
