华盛顿——联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔周五表示,该局本周逮捕了另一名涉嫌与“赏金猎人”(ShinyHunters)网络犯罪团伙有关的人员,该团伙曾入侵联邦调查局求职网站并窃取该局员工的个人数据。

“这是联邦调查局在几天内针对该犯罪网络发起的最新一次逮捕,我们正全力瓦解该团伙、追查新线索和证据,并迅速采取行动,”帕特尔在一份声明中说道。“此次逮捕彰显了我们保护美国民众免受网络犯罪侵害的努力力度和影响力。”

联邦调查局未提供该嫌疑人身份或逮捕地点的更多细节,但一名美国官员和另一位了解此事的消息人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,嫌疑人在宾夕法尼亚州被拘留。

一名执法消息人士称,该嫌疑人是加拿大公民,被认为直接参与了入侵联邦调查局网站的黑客行动。该消息人士表示,其他涉嫌同谋者仍在逃。

这些消息人士因谈论尚未公开的执法细节而要求匿名。

《纽约时报》周五早些时候报道称,该嫌疑人因涉嫌参与窃取联邦调查局数据而在宾夕法尼亚州被捕。

联邦调查局发言人拒绝就《纽约时报》报道中提到的细节置评。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系加拿大皇家骑警及其他加拿大当局征求评论。

联邦调查局的求职网站于9月遭黑客入侵,一些资深特工称,此次事件可能是2015年美国人事管理办公室系统遭臭名昭著的黑客攻击以来,联邦政府系统遭遇的最严重泄密事件。2015年的那次攻击导致超过2200万条政府记录被盗。

“赏金猎人”组织声称对联邦调查局此次黑客攻击负责,这是这个臭名昭著的团伙实施的一系列引人注目的数据泄露事件中的最新一起。

黑客们称,他们窃取了2至3太字节与联邦调查局工作人员相关的数据,他们能够做到这一点,得益于人力资源管理软件Oracle PeopleSoft存在的一个新漏洞。

本周早些时候,联邦调查局网络犯罪部门助理局长布雷特·莱斯曼宣布,经审查,该局认定一名承包商未能为受攻击的系统安装安全补丁。

“联邦调查局已解雇该承包商,并采取了一切必要措施,以降低进一步风险并保护我们的工作人员,”莱斯曼在一份声明中说道。

路透社是首个报道解雇承包商消息的媒体,称该承包商供职于埃森哲公司。

周五宣布的此次逮捕是一系列针对涉嫌与“赏金猎人”团伙有关的嫌疑人逮捕行动中的最新一起。

周日,哥伦比亚广播公司新闻报道称,约旦当局拘留了赛义夫·丁·卡德尔,他使用网络昵称“雷伊”,涉嫌参与“赏金猎人”团伙活动。

另一名被确认身份的该团伙嫌疑人是24岁的佩平·范德斯塔普,此前哥伦比亚广播公司新闻报道称,他在阿姆斯特丹被捕。

不过,他于9月15日被拘留,这意味着在“赏金猎人”宣布入侵联邦调查局求职网站之前,他已被拘留多日。此次入侵事件最早由404 Media于9月22日报道。

FBI arrests suspected member of ShinyHunters in connection with breach of bureau’s jobs website

Washington— The FBI this week arrested another individual suspected of being connected to ShinyHunters, the cybercriminal group that hacked the bureau’s job website and stole personal data about its employees, FBI Director Kash Patel said on Friday.

“This is the latest arrest this FBI has made in a matter of days involving this network, as we work non-stop to dismantle the group, pursue new leads and evidence, and act quickly,” Patel said in a statement. “This arrest demonstrates the strength and reach of our efforts to protect Americans from cybercrime.”

The FBI did not provide any additional details on the individual’s identity or the location of the arrest, but a U.S. official and another source briefed on the matter told CBS News the suspect was detained in Pennsylvania.

A law enforcement source said the suspect is a Canadian citizen and is believed to be directly involved in the hack of the FBI’s website. That source said that other suspected co-conspirators remain at large.

The sources were granted anonymity to speak about law enforcement details that have not been made public.

The New York Times reported earlier Friday that the suspect was arrested in Pennsylvania on suspicion of being involved in the theft of FBI data.

An FBI spokesperson declined to comment on the details outlined in the New York Times report. CBS News has reached out to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and other Canadian authorities for comment.

The FBI’s jobs website was hacked in September, in what some veteran agents are saying may amount to the worst breach of a federal government system since the infamous hack of the Office of Personnel Management system in 2015, when more than 22 million government records were stolen.

ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for the FBI hack, the latest in a series of high-profile data breaches committed by the notorious group.

The hackers said they stole 2 to 3 terabytes of data related to FBI workers, a feat they accomplished thanks to a new vulnerability with Oracle PeopleSoft, a human resources management program.

Earlier this week, the FBI’s Cyber Division’s Assistant Director Brett Leatherman announced that following a review, the bureau determined that a contractor failed to implement a security patch to the system that was targeted.

“The FBI has removed the contractor and taken all necessary steps to both mitigate any further risk and protect our workforce,” Leatherman said in a statement.

Reuters was the first to report on the contractor’s removal, saying the individual worked at the company Accenture.

The arrest announced on Friday is the latest in a string of arrests of suspects who are believed to be tied to ShinyHunters.

On Sunday, CBS News reported that Jordanian authorities detained Saif al-Din Khader, who uses the online moniker “Rey” and is suspected to be involved in ShinyHunters.

A second suspected member of the group, identified as 24-year-old Pepijn van der Stap, was also arrested in Amsterdam, CBS News previously reported.

However, he was taken into custody on Sept. 15, meaning he was already in custody days before ShinyHunters announced it had hacked the FBI jobs website. The intrusion was first reported on Sept. 22 by 404 Media.
