路透社援引知情人士的話報(bào)道稱，疑似為俄羅斯政府工作的黑客一直在監(jiān)控美國(guó)財(cái)政部的電子郵件往來，他們也監(jiān)控美國(guó)一個(gè)負(fù)責(zé)制定互聯(lián)網(wǎng)及電信政策的政府機(jī)構(gòu)的電子郵件。
“美國(guó)政府已知曉相關(guān)報(bào)道，正在采取一切必要措施，查找可能與之有關(guān)的問題并全力做出補(bǔ)救，”國(guó)家安全委員會(huì)發(fā)言人約翰?尤里奧特在一份聲明中表示。
美國(guó)商務(wù)部發(fā)言人證實(shí)，“我們某一部門”確實(shí)遭到了入侵，路透社確認(rèn)系國(guó)家電信和信息管理局。據(jù)路透社報(bào)道，因?yàn)槭聭B(tài)嚴(yán)重，美國(guó)國(guó)家安全委員會(huì)周六在白宮召開了會(huì)議。
據(jù)路透社報(bào)道，針對(duì)美國(guó)政府的網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊是一系列黑客攻擊的一部分，還包括最近針對(duì)網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全公司火眼公司（FireEye）的攻擊，黑客竊取了用于查找公司客戶計(jì)算機(jī)網(wǎng)絡(luò)漏洞的敏感工具。《華盛頓郵報(bào)》報(bào)道稱，俄羅斯黑客組織安逸熊(Cozy Bear，又稱APT 29)是此次行動(dòng)的幕后黑手。早在2015年，民主黨全國(guó)委員會(huì)就曾遭到該黑客組織的攻擊。今年7月，美國(guó)和英國(guó)有關(guān)部門還指控該組織滲透進(jìn)了參與新冠肺炎疫苗研發(fā)的相關(guān)組織。
“針對(duì)最近發(fā)現(xiàn)的政府網(wǎng)絡(luò)問題，我們正在和合作伙伴開展密切合作。”美國(guó)國(guó)土安全部下屬網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施安全局(CISA)的一名發(fā)言人表示，“CISA正在向受影響的部門提供技術(shù)援助，幫助它們查明并減少潛在危害。”

Hackers suspected to be working for the Russian government have been monitoring emails at the U.S. Treasury Department and a U.S. agency responsible for deciding policy around the internet and telecommunications, Reuters reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
“The United States government is aware of these reports and we are taking all necessary steps to identify and remedy any possible issues related to this situation,” John Ullyot, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said in a statement.
A Commerce Department spokesperson confirmed there was a breach “in one of our bureaus,” which Reuters identified as the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. The attacks were so concerning that the National Security Council met at the White House Saturday, Reuters reported.
The cyber-attacks against the U.S. government were part of a broader campaign that involved the recent hack of cybersecurity company FireEye, in which sensitive tools were stolen that are used to find vulnerabilities in clients’ computer networks, according to Reuters. The Washington Post reported that the Russian hacking group known as Cozy Bear, or APT 29, was behind the campaign. That is the same hacking group that was behind the cyber-attacks on the Democratic National Committee going back to 2015. It was also accused by U.S. and U.K. authorities in July of infiltrating organizations involved in developing a Covid-19 vaccine.
“We have been working closely with our agency partners regarding recently discovered activity on government networks,” said a spokesperson for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, or CISA, part of the Department of Homeland Security. “CISA is providing technical assistance to affected entities as they work to identify and mitigate any potential compromises.”
The Treasury had no immediate response to questions.
