一家网络安全公司称,曾经在2016年总统选举期间窃取美国民主党电邮的俄罗斯黑客一直试图从美国参议院窃取信息。

这家名为“趋势科技”的网络安全公司星期五在网站上发表的一份新报告说,黑客去年6月设立了一些看起来像是参议院内部网络的网站,试图引诱使用者提供获得信息的途径。

这家公司说,一个叫Fancy Bear的俄罗斯黑客组织怀有政治动机,而且仍然很活跃。

报告没有说偷窃美国参议院信息的行动是否成功。这家公司称已经将黑客的活动信息告知参议院。

美国情报机构表示,Fancy Bear的黑客曾经在2016年总统选举期间窃取了美国民主党全国委员会的电邮。

趋势科技的报告还说,这些黑客还设立了一些目的是窃取奥运会电邮的网络,涉及的比赛项目包括冰球、雪车和滑雪。

A U.S. computer security firm says that Russian hackers who stole emails from the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 presidential election have been trying to steal information from the U.S. Senate.

A new report by security firm Trend Micro posted on their website Friday said that hackers set up websites in June meant to look like the Senate internal computer network in an attempt to trick people into providing access to information.

The firm said the group of Russian hackers, known as Fancy Bear, is politically motivated and still very active.

It did not say whether the operation targeting the Senate had successfully stolen information. The company said it has given information about the hackers’ activities to the Senate.

U.S. intelligence agencies said Fancy Bear hackers stole emails from the DNC during the 2016 presidential election.

Also noted in Friday’s report, Trend Micro said the hackers have set up infrastructure aimed at collecting emails from several Olympic Sports federations, including those for ice hockey, bobsleigh and skiing.
