UMarriott namuhla uthe amaqembu abahloli be-forensic kanye nabahlaziyi bedatha akhombe “amarekhodi alinganiselwa ezigidini ezingama-383 njengomkhawulo ongaphezulu” yenani eliphelele lamarekhodi okubhukha izivakashi alahlekile. Inkampani namanje ithi ayazi ukuthi ngubani owenze lesi sigameko, futhi iphakamise ukuthi lesi sibalo sizokwehla ngokuhamba kwesikhathi njengoba kukhonjwa amarekhodi amaningi.
Okwenze ukuhlasela kweStarwood kwehluka wukuba khona kwezinombolo zamapasi, okungenza kube lula ukuthi abezobunhloli balandelele abantu abeqa imingcele. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu kuleli cala: NgoDisemba, i-New York Times yabika ukuthi lokhu kuhlasela bekuyingxenye yomzamo wokuqoqa ezobunhloli baseShayina, okuthe, kusukela ngo-2014, kwagqekeza abashuwalensi bezempilo baseMelika kanye neHhovisi Lokuphathwa Kwabasebenzi, eligcina ezokuphepha. ukususa amafayela ezigidini zabantu baseMelika.
Kuze kube manje, awekho amacala aziwayo lapho kutholwe khona imininingwane yepasipoti eyebiwe noma ikhadi lesikweletu ezenzweni zomgunyathi. Kodwa kubaphenyi be-cyberattack, lokho kumane nje kuwuphawu lokuthi ukugebenga kwenziwa yizikhungo zezobunhloli, hhayi izigebengu. Ama-ejensi angafuna ukusebenzisa idatha ngezinjongo zawo - ukwakha isizindalwazi kanye nokulandelela okuhloswe nguhulumeni noma okugadwa kwezimboni - kunokuxhaphaza idatha ngenzuzo yezomnotho.
Sekuhlanganiswe ndawonye, lokhu kuhlasela kubonakale kuyingxenye yomzamo obanzi woMnyango Wezokuphepha Kombuso waseChina wokuhlanganisa isizindalwazi esikhulu sabantu baseMelika nabanye abanezikhundla ezibucayi kuhulumeni noma embonini - okuhlanganisa lapho besebenza khona, amagama ozakwabo, abathintwayo bakwamanye amazwe nabangane. , nalapho behamba khona.
"Idatha enkulu igagasi elisha lokulwa nobuhlakani," kusho uJames A. Lewis, uchwepheshe we-cybersecurity ophethe uhlelo lwenqubomgomo yezobuchwepheshe esikhungweni se-Strategic and International Studies eWashington, ngenyanga edlule.
IMarriott International ithe mancane amarekhodi amakhasimende antshontshiwe kunalokho ebekusatshwa ekuqaleni kodwa yengeza ngokuthi zingaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-25 izinombolo zamapasi ezintshontshiwe ekuhlaselweni kwe-inthanethi ngenyanga edlule. Le nkampani ithe namuhla ukugetshengwa okukhulu kolwazi lomuntu siqu emlandweni bekungekukhulu njengoba bekusatshwa okokuqala kodwa yavuma okokuqala ukuthi uphiko lwayo lwamahhotela e-Starwood aluzange lubhale ngemfihlo izinombolo zamaphasiphothi ezivakashini ezingaba yizigidi ezi-5. Lezo zinombolo zamapasi zalahleka ekuhlaselweni ongoti abaningi bangaphandle abakholelwa ukuthi kwenziwa yizikhungo zezobunhloli zaseChina.
Ngenkathi lokhu kuhlasela kuvezwa okokuqala nguMarriott ekupheleni kukaNovemba, yathi imininingwane yezivakashi ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-500 kungenzeka ukuthi yebiwe, konke kusizindalwazi sokubhuka se-Starwood, uxhaxha lwamahhotela amakhulu uMarriot alitholile. Kodwa ngaleso sikhathi, inkampani yathi lesi sibalo sasiyisimo esibi kakhulu ngoba sasihlanganisa izigidi zamarekhodi ayimpinda.
Lesi sibalo esibuyekeziwe sisewukulahlekelwa okukhulu kakhulu emlandweni, okukhulu kunokuhlaselwa kwe-Equifax, isikhungo esibika ngezikweletu zabathengi, esilahlekelwe amalayisense okushayela kanye nezinombolo Zokuphepha Komphakathi zabantu baseMelika ababalelwa ezigidini eziyi-145.5 ngo-2017, okuholele ekuxoshweni kwesikhulu sayo. kanye nokulahlekelwa okukhulu ukuzethemba enkampanini.
Esinye isikhulu esiphezulu soMnyango Wezokuphepha Kombuso waseChina saboshwa eBelgium ngasekupheleni konyaka odlule saphindiselwa e-United States ngamacala okubamba iqhaza elikhulu ekugetshengeni amafemu ahlobene nezokuvikela e-US, kanti abanye bakhonjwa ecaleni loMnyango Wezobulungiswa e-United States. Disemba. Kodwa lawo macala ayengahlobene nokuhlasela kukaMarriott, i-FBI esaphenya ngayo.
I-China iphikile ulwazi ngokuhlaselwa kukaMarriott. NgoDisemba, uGeng Shuang, umkhulumeli woMnyango Wezangaphandle, uthe, "I-China iphikisana ngokuqinile nazo zonke izinhlobo zokuhlasela kwe-cyberattack futhi iyakuqeda ngokuhambisana nomthetho."
"Uma kunikezwa ubufakazi, iminyango efanelekile yaseShayina izokwenza uphenyo ngokulandela umthetho," kusho umkhulumeli.
Uphenyo lukaMarriott luveze ubungozi obusha ezinhlelweni zamahhotela: Kwenzekani kudatha yepasipoti lapho ikhasimende libhukha noma lihlola ihhotela, ngokuvamile phesheya, futhi linikeza umabhalane wedeski ipasi. UMarriott uthe okokuqala ngqa ukuthi izinombolo zamaphasiphothi eziyizigidi ezingu-5.25 zigcinwe ohlelweni lwe-Starwood kumafayela edatha angenalutho, angabhaliwe - okusho ukuthi afundwa kalula yinoma ubani ongaphakathi kohlelo lokubhuka. Izinombolo zamaphasipoti ezengeziwe eziyizigidi ezingu-20.3 zigcinwe kumafayela abethelwe, okungadinga ukhiye wokubethela oyinhloko ukuze kufundwe. Akukacaci ukuthi bangaki kulabo abathintekayo amaphasipoti ase-US nokuthi bangaki abavela kwamanye amazwe.
"Abukho ubufakazi bokuthi umuntu wesithathu ongagunyaziwe uthole ukhiye wokubethela odingekayo ukuze kubhalwe izinombolo zamaphasiphothi ezibethelwe," kusho uMarriott esitatimendeni.
Akuzange kucace ngokushesha ukuthi kungani ezinye izinombolo zazibethelwe kanti ezinye zingabhalwanga - ngaphandle kwalawo mahhotela ezweni ngalinye, futhi kwesinye isikhathi indawo ngayinye, yayinezimiso ezihlukile zokuphatha imininingwane yepasipoti. Ongoti bezobunhloli baphawula ukuthi izikhungo zezobunhloli zase-US zivame ukufuna izinombolo zamapasi abantu bakwamanye amazwe ezibalandela ngaphandle kwe-United States - okungase kuchaze ukuthi kungani uhulumeni wase-US engazange agcizelele ukubethelwa okuqinile kwedatha yamapasipoti emhlabeni jikelele.
Ebuzwa ukuthi uMarriott ubeluphatha kanjani lolu lwazi njengoba manje esehlanganise imininingwane ye-Starwood ohlelweni lokubhuka iMarriott - ukuhlanganiswa okusanda kuqedwa ekupheleni konyaka ka-2018 - uConnie Kim, okhulumela inkampani, uthe: "Sibheke ikhono lethu lokuhamba. ekubhalweni okuyimfihlo kwezinombolo zamaphasipoti futhi sizosebenzisana nabathengisi bezinhlelo zethu ukuze baqonde kangcono amakhono abo, kanye nokubuyekeza imithetho esebenzayo kazwelonke neyendawo.”
UMnyango WezoMbuso ukhiphe isitatimende ngenyanga edlule utshela abaphethe amapasi ukuthi bangethuki ngoba inombolo iyodwa ngeke yenze umuntu akwazi ukwenza ipasi lomgunyathi. UMarriott uthe uzokhokhela i-passport entsha kunoma ngubani okutholakala ukuthi imininingwane yakhe yepasi, egetshengiwe ezinhlelweni zabo, uyathinteka enkohlakalweni. Kodwa lokho kwakungokuthile okuwubuqili benkampani, njengoba kwakunganikezeli izivakashi ezazifuna ipasipoti entsha ngenxa nje yokuthi imininingwane yazo yayithathwe izinhloli zakwamanye amazwe.
Kuze kube manje, le nkampani ibambe iqhaza ekubhekaneni nalolo daba ngokuthi ayinabo ubufakazi mayelana nabahlaseli, futhi i-United States ayizange isole iChina ngokusemthethweni kuleli cala. Kodwa amaqembu angasese e-cyberintelligence abheke ukuphulwa abone ukufana okuqinile nokunye, ukuhlasela okuhlobene namaShayina okwenzeka ngaleso sikhathi. Umongameli kanye nesikhulu esiphezulu sale nkampani, u-Arne Sorenson, akakayiphenduli imibuzo mayelana nokugetshengwa kwabantu esidlangalaleni, kanti uMarriott uthe ubehamba wanqaba isicelo seThe Times sokukhuluma ngokugebenga.
Le nkampani iphinde yathi cishe amakhadi esikweletu nawemali ebalelwa ezigidini eziyisi-8.6 “ayebandakanyeka” kulesi sigameko, kodwa wonke lawo abethelwe - futhi wonke amakhadi angama-354,000 abesephelelwe yisikhathi ngoSepthemba 2018, lapho kutholwa ukugetshengwa, okwaqhubeka iminyaka.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- One top official of the Chinese Ministry of State Security was arrested in Belgium late last year and extradited to the United States on charges of playing a central role in the hacking of U.
- Taken together, the attack appeared to be part of a broader effort by China's Ministry of State Security to compile a huge database of Americans and others with sensitive government or industry positions — including where they worked, the names of their colleagues, foreign contacts and friends, and where they travel.
- The company said today that the biggest hacking of personal information in history was not quite as big as first feared but for the first time conceded that its Starwood hotel unit did not encrypt the passport numbers for roughly 5 million guests.
