据周一的一份媒体报道，德国议会联邦议院内反对党左翼党党团成员的电子邮件账户遭到了大规模攻击。
Members of the opposition Left Party faction in the German parliament Bundestag have been targeted by a massive attack on their email accounts, according to a media report on Monday.
德国通讯社（dpa）援引议会消息人士的话报道称，这些账户被成千上万封电子邮件淹没，导致无法使用。该事件被描述为“轰炸式垃圾邮件”攻击。
The accounts were flooded with thousands of emails, rendering them unusable, German Press Agency (dpa) reported, citing parliamentary sources. The incident has been described as a "spam-bombing" attack.
报道称，这些电子邮件来自不同的发件人，主题行各不相同，且使用了几种不同的语言。只有左翼党的成员受到影响。
Reports indicate that the emails originated from various senders, featured different subject lines, and were written in several different languages. Only members of the Left Party were affected.
联邦议院更广泛的电子邮件系统仅出现轻微延迟，因为其服务器拥有足够的容量。受影响的立法者此后已收到如何过滤涌入电子邮件的指示。联邦信息安全办公室（BSI）已被请来协助。
The Bundestag’s broader email system experienced only minor delays, as its servers possess sufficient capacity. The affected lawmakers have since received instructions on how to filter out the influx of emails. The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has been brought in to assist.
根据提供的信息，这次网络攻击与针对政府官员和议员iPhone的潜在间谍软件使用无关——苹果此前曾就这一威胁发出警告。
