华盛顿,9月29日(路透社)——一名联邦调查局高级官员罕见地公开向黑客组织“赏金猎人”(ShinyHunters)发出呼吁,周二这位官员对网络犯罪分子表示,在该局求职网站遭遇大范围数据泄露后,他们应当主动联系。
在周二发布于X平台的一段视频讲话中,联邦调查局网络安全部门助理局长布雷特·莱斯曼(Brett Leatherman)表示,近期因“赏金猎人”相关调查被捕的一名荷兰男子应当成为一则警示。

“其他团伙以为匿名或同伙能保护自己,但他们错了,”领导联邦调查局网络部门的莱斯曼说道,“你们知道如何找到我们,我们也知道如何找到你们。我建议你们在选择权仍在你们手中时,先主动联系我们。”
尽管这番话听起来带有威胁意味,但莱斯曼呼吁执法部门与黑客建立沟通渠道的举动,是该局对此次数据泄露高度重视的最新迹象。此次泄露已导致敏感医疗记录、社会安全号码、家庭信息以及已公开身份的联邦调查局职员的情报相关细节遭到窃取。
路透社此前曾报道称,该局内部一份传遍全系统的备忘录显示,官员们认为所有员工的信息都已被泄露。
“赏金猎人”并未立即回复置评请求。该组织最初曾要求该局撤回一份针对该黑客组织的预警声明,该声明引发了他们的不满,并给出了一周的期限,该期限已于周二到期。此后该黑客组织表示,这一最后通牒并非最后期限或威胁,他们无意发布窃取的数据。
“这完全是一场营销活动,”该组织周一说道。

WASHINGTON, Sept 29 (Reuters) – A senior FBI official has made an unusually public request to the hacking group ShinyHunters, telling the cybercriminals on Tuesday they should get in touch following a wide-ranging breach of the bureau’s job site.
In a video address, opens new tab posted to X on Tuesday, FBI Assistant Director Brett Leatherman said the recent arrest of a Dutch man in connection with the ShinyHunters investigation should serve as a warning.

“Other groups believed anonymity or their friends would protect them, and they were wrong,” said Leatherman, who leads the FBI’s Cyber Division. “You know how to find us, and we know how to find you. I suggest you reach out first while the choice is still yours.”
Although couched as a threat, Leatherman’s request to open a channel of communication between law enforcement and the hackers is the latest indication of just how seriously the bureau is taking the breach, which has compromised sensitive medical records, Social Security numbers, family information, and intelligence-related details of named FBI staffers.
An internal memo distributed across the FBI said officials were operating under the assumption that every employee had been exposed, Reuters has previously reported.
ShinyHunters did not immediately return a message seeking comment. The group initially gave the bureau a week to retract an advisory about the hackers that ShinyHunters took exception to — a period of time that expired on Tuesday. The hackers have since said the ultimatum was not a deadline or a threat and they had no intention of publishing the data.
“This was all a marketing campaign,” the group said on Monday.
