黑客一天内攻击全球上千家公司 拜登也要严阵以待

Hackers attack thousands of companies around the world in a day

 

近两年，是黑客攻击全球企业频繁的时期。据《北京商报》报道，瑞典最大的连锁超市之一Coop日前表示，该公司遭到黑客攻击，不得不暂时关闭全国约800家门店。而在此之前，黑客已经发起了一场全球勒索软件攻击行动，共袭击了超过1000家公司，Coop只是其中一家。

The past two years have been a period of frequent hacker attacks on global companies. According to the Beijing Business Daily, Coop, one of Sweden's largest supermarket chains, recently stated that the company had been hacked and had to temporarily close about 800 stores across the country. Before that, hackers had launched a global ransomware attack, attacking more than 1,000 companies, and Coop was just one of them.

这可能目前为止全球规模最大的供应链黑客攻击事件，IT管理软件供应商Kaseya也在攻击名单上。有网络安全专家指出，Kaseya的客户属于大型IT服务供应商，它的客户又为数百家公司提供外包IT服务，所以已有200家公司受影响。而且受影响公司的数目可能还会增加至数千家，这些公司遍布英国、加拿大和南非等最少17个国家。

This may be the world's largest supply chain hacking incident so far, and IT management software provider Kaseya is also on the attack list. Some cybersecurity experts pointed out that Kaseya's customers belong to large IT service providers, and its customers provide outsourcing IT services to hundreds of companies, so 200 companies have been affected. And the number of affected companies may increase to several thousand. These companies are located in at least 17 countries including the United Kingdom, Canada and South Africa.

对此，拜登也不得不严阵以待。7月3日，美国总统拜登表示他已经下令情报机构全面调查VSA软件遭攻击事件。拜登称目前不确定攻击者是谁。另外，美国国土安全部网络安全和基础设施安全局上日前宣布，他们目前正与联邦调查局合作，“采取行动了解并解决最近针对IT管理平台Kaseya的供应链勒索软件攻击事件”。

In this regard, Biden also had to stand up. On July 3, U.S. President Biden stated that he had ordered intelligence agencies to fully investigate the attack on the VSA software. Biden said it is currently unsure who the attacker is. In addition, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency of the US Department of Homeland Security announced last week that they are currently cooperating with the FBI to "take action to understand and resolve the recent supply chain ransomware attack on the IT management platform Kaseya."
