b*****d 发帖数: 61690 | 1 The DNC told Buzzfeed in a statement published last week that the FBI never
requested access to its servers after they were breached.
But a senior law enforcement official disputed that characterization the
following day.
“The FBI repeatedly stressed to DNC officials the necessity of obtaining
direct access to servers and data, only to be rebuffed until well after the
initial compromise had been mitigated,” the official said.
“This left the FBI no choice but to rely upon a third party for information
. These actions caused significant delays and inhibited the FBI from
addressing the intrusion earlier.”
CrowdStrike, the private security firm in question, has published extensive
forensic analysis backing up its assessment that the threat groups that
infiltrated the DNC were associated with Russian intelligence.
The FBI requested direct access to the Democratic National Committee’s
hacked servers but was denied, Director James B. Comey told lawmakers on
Tuesday.
The bureau made “multiple requests at different levels,” according to
Comey, but ultimately struck an agreement with the DNC that a “highly-
respected private company” would get access and share what they found with
investigators. |
