FBI rushes to investigate if ShinyHunters hack of thousands of employees is real
摘要
FBI正调查黑客组织ShinyHunters声称从FBI招聘网站FBIJobs.gov窃取数千名现任及前任员工个人数据的说法。该组织称利用此前未知漏洞入侵网站，并篡改首页。据称约2至3TB数据被窃，尚未泄露，内容包括姓名、住址、电话、配偶姓名及部分医疗信息等。有报道称数据可能涉及员工工作方向等敏感内容。目前事件仍在核实中。
The FBI is now investigating claims from a hacker group that thousands of current and former employees’ personal data was stolen after the group exploited a previously unknown bug found on an agency jobs website.
On Tuesday, 404 Media reported that ShinyHunters took down the agency site, FBIJobs.gov, then posted a banner on the homepage that said “THIS SITE HAS BEEN SEIZED BY SHINYHUNTERS.”
About two to three terabytes of data were taken, ShinyHunters told The New York Times. None of the data has been leaked yet, but it included “names of current and former agents as well as applicants and corresponding home addresses, phone numbers, names of spouses, certain medical information, and other data.” According to Bloomberg, the data could be used to potentially retaliate against agents, with one sample appearing to include “potentially sensitive professional information on the FBI employees’ work focus such as counter-intelligence work on China, Russia and Iran, as well as work against street gangs.”
