Riaan I-FBI ithi isibhekane “nesigameko” se-cybersecurity okubikwa ukuthi sibandakanya izinhlelo zamakhompiyutha ezisetshenziswa ukuphenya ukuxhashazwa kwezingane ngokocansi.
“I-FBI iyasazi lesi sigameko futhi isebenzela ukuthola eminye imininingwane,” kusho okhulumela amaphoyisa esitatimendeni Irejista. “Lesi yisigameko esisodwa esiqukethwe. Njengoba lolu kuwuphenyo oluqhubekayo i-FBI ayinakho okunye okungakuphawula okwamanje.”
Umkhulumeli wenqabile ukuphendula imibuzo mayelana nokwephulwa kwezokuphepha kwe-IT, okuhlanganisa nendlela izigebengu ezifinyelela ngayo kunethiwekhi nokuthi yiluphi ulwazi abalufinyelele.
CNN kuqala kubika ukungena noma ukungena ngoLwesihlanu ekuseni, futhi wathi kuhilela okuthile okubi okwenzeka ngamakhompyutha ehhovisi le-FBI eNew York.
U-Austin Berglas, owayeyi-FBI ophikweni lweCrimes Against Children eNew York, utshele Irejista amadivayisi athelelekile noma angenisiwe cishe aqukethwe kunethiwekhi yokuhlaziya i-forensic. Ngamanye amazwi, kuyangabazeka ukuthi abahlaseli benethiwekhi bafinyelele noma yiluphi ulwazi oluhlukanisiwe: kungenzeka ukuthi bafinyelele kuphela ezinhlelweni zokufunda nokuhlunga amafayela.
Lolu phenyo lokuxhashazwa kwezingane ngokuvamile lubandakanya ubufakazi bedijithali: omakhalekhukhwini, amakhompyutha, isitoreji sangaphandle nokunye okunjalo. Ngemva kokuba i-FBI ishaqe izinto zabasolwa, ziskenwa ukuze kutholwe uhlelo olungayilungele ikhompuyutha noma amanye amafayela anonya ngaphambi kokucubungula idatha ngesofthiwe eyisipesheli esetshenziselwa ukukhipha ulwazi olufihlwe emishinini, kuchaza uBerglas.
“Kungenzeka ukuthi umshini onegciwane (hhayi ngenhloso umnikazi) wabanjwa/waqoqwa wabe esethelela ikhompyutha ye-FBI ngemuva kokugwema ukuskena okuwuhlelo olungayilungele ikhompyutha,” kusho uBerglas, manje osesitolo sonogada iBlueVoyant, etshela. Irejista. “Lawa madivayisi ngeke aze acutshungulwe kumanethiwekhi ahlukanisiwe.”
Uhlelo olungayilungele ikhompuyutha luvela nsuku zonke, ngakho-ke ngezinye izikhathi ukuskena kuyehluleka ukuhlonza amafayela ayingozi ngaphambi kokuthi Ithimba Le-FBI Le-Computer Analysis Response lilayishe okuqukethwe kwedivayisi kunethiwekhi yokuhlola, wengeza.
“Kuwuhlobo lwebhizinisi kanye neWild West ye-inthanethi,” kusho uBerglas. “Izisetshenziswa ezixhunyiwe zizovezwa isofthiwe eyingozi.”
Futhi ngenkathi i-FBI ngokungangabazeki ikhetha ukwenza izihloko zezindaba uma kunjalo ukugebenga izigebengungokuphambene nenye indlela, lena akuyona i-snafu yayo yokuqala yezokuphepha evunyelwe esidlangalaleni.
NgoNovemba 2021, izikhohlakali zasebenzisa ukungalungile kwesoftware kumaseva e-imeyili e-FBI ukuze thumela izinkulungwane zemiyalezo mbumbulu. Ama-imeyili, athunyelwe kumaseva asemthethweni e-FBI, axwayise abamukeli ukuthi bayizisulu “zokuhlasela okuyinkimbinkimbi” lapho izigebengu zebe “inqwaba yamaqoqo akho abonakalayo.” ®
