駭客攻擊 CIA官網當機
路透 更新日期:"2011/06/16 15:15"
（路透波士頓15日電）美國中央情報局（CIA）官網今天晚間突然暫停運作，駭客組織「魯茲安全」（LulzSecurity）宣稱已發動攻擊。
從紐約到舊金山、班加羅爾（Bangalore）到倫敦等地，最初均無法進入中情局官網，晚間稍後時，網頁服務斷斷續續。
中情局發言人表示：「我們正調查這些消息。」
出書探討網路安全議題作家卡爾（Jeffrey Carr）表示，在這次中情局遇駭事件中，駭客無法藉由入侵中情局官網竊盜敏感資料。
卡爾說：「他們所作所為是想傳達『看看我們多棒』」。並讓對方臉上無光，表達「你們的安全爛爆了」之意。
魯茲安全只宣稱襲擊網站www.cia.gov，今晚沒有證據證明中情局內部電腦網路的敏感資料受損。
美國參議院、索尼公司（Sony Corp）、新聞集團（News Corp）和美國公共電視網（PBS）最近遭駭客攻擊，魯茲安全也宣稱這些全是他們的傑作。
但國際貨幣基金（IMF）和國防承包公司洛克希德馬丁（Lockheed Martin Corp.）網路最近遭遇嚴重網路安全漏洞，目前不見與魯茲安全有明顯關聯。中央社（翻譯）

A group of hackers who breached the Senate computer system earlier this week have claimed responsibility for problems with the CIA's website.
The group, known as Lulz Security, tweeted "Tango down - CIA.gov," and there were difficulties accessing the agency's website throughout the early evening yesterday, local time.
The computer mischief appeared to be targeting the CIA's public website, which does not include classified data and has no impact on the CIA's operation. CIA spokeswoman Marie Harf said the agency is looking into the reports.
It is sometimes difficult to tell if a website has been hacked, or if the claim alone drove so many people to the site that it crashed. Efforts to access the website were met with an error message long after the breach began, around 6pm local time (7am AEST).
The site had returned to normal operation several hours later, according to a review by analysts at Keynote, a mobile and internet cloud monitoring company based in San Mateo, California.

Lulz has claimed credit for hacking into the systems of Sony and Nintendo and for defacing the PBS website after the public television broadcaster aired a documentary seen as critical of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
On Monday, the group accessed a Senate server that supports the chamber's public website but did not breach other files, according to a Capitol Hill law enforcement official. The hackers said the release was a "just for kicks" attempt to help the government "fix their issues".
Senate Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms Martina Bradford said in a statement that while the intrusion was inconvenient, it did not compromise the security of the Senate's network, members or staff.
Lulz Security claimed that it had added a Senate file to its list of successful, high-profile intrusions at a time when governments and corporations are on high guard for cyber intrusions.
The group has suggested it is trying to highlight cyber security weaknesses.

Hacker group Lulz Security claims attack on public face of CIA website

The hacker group Lulz Security, or LulzSec, on Wednesday said it had knocked the US CIA public-facing website offline, BBC News reported. The claim came later on the same day that the group had set up a telephone hotline to take requests for hacking targets.
"Tango down - cia.gov - for the lulz," the group said on its Twitter account. Lulz is Internet-speak for laughs, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The CIA site, cia.gov, initially couldn't be accessed from New York to San Francisco, and Bangalore to London, Reuters reported. Later on Wednesday evening, service was sporadic, but there was no evidence that sensitive data in the CIA internal computer network had been compromised.
A spokesman for the CIA, Preston Golson, said the agency's website was malfunctioning, but couldn't provide any details.
"We're looking into the matter," he said.
LulzSec, a hacker group that is believed to be made up of former members of the hacker activist organization Anonymous, claimed earlier this week that it had hacked the US Senate's public website, and posted computer files obtained in the attack on the Internet, according to Bloomberg News. The LulzSec hackers, who Barrett Brown, an informal spokesman for Anonymous, said are based mostly in the US and Europe, have announced their attacks on Twitter and on the group’s website, lulzsecurity.com.
LulzSec portrays itself more as pranksters and activists than as people with sinister intent, but its members have been accused of breaking the law and are wanted by the FBI and other law-enforcement agencies, Reuters said.
The hotline telephone number that the group set up on Wednesday spelled out "LULZSEC" and had an area code in the US state of Ohio, AFP reported. A recorded greeting had a man speaking with an exaggerated French accent explaining that "Pierre Dubois and Francois Deluxe" were unavailable because they were up to mischief on the Internet.
According to a GlobalPost article earlier this month, Spanish police arrested three hackers from the Anonymous group for online attacks on Sony PlayStation and the governments of Egypt, Libya and Iran among others. The article goes on to say:
Since both foreign women and female citizens are banned from driving in Saudi Arabia, perhaps GP's reporter in Riyadh,...
Last week's winner requests a first-hand account on coping with Saudi Arabia's ban on women drivers. Caryle Murphy will have it ready by mid-June.
LulzSec earlier this month claimed to have broken into a Sony company network, stealing the personal data of more than a million users, including passwords and email addresses, in the latest of a string of attacks on the Japanese company. The group said it had hacked the servers that run SonyPictures.com, part of Sony’s movie and television operations.
The cyberattacks on the US Senate and the CIA follow more than two weeks of hacks by the group, targeting the computer networks of the Japanese technology giant Sony Corp., PBS, the television network Fox, and the Atlanta chapter of a US Federal Bureau of Investigation affiliate called InfraGuard, Bloomberg News said.
“We don’t like the U.S. government very much,” LulzSec said in a release earlier this week that accompanied the posted technical data from senate.gov, the Senate website, which cyber-security experts said confirmed they had hacked the server, the Wall Street Journal said. When the group posted the information from the Senate site, it also posted the question, "Is this an act of war, gentlemen?"
