事件经过

澳大利亚网络监管机构澳大利亚信号局(ASD)已就一次重大全球数字中断后出现恶意网站和非官方代码的情况发布公开警告。此次中断影响了媒体、零售商、银行和航空公司。

周五发生的事件与CrowdStrike的一次错误软件更新有关,这家主要网络安全提供商在全球拥有近3万家客户。

ASD强调,为防范进一步的网络威胁,必须仅从CrowdStrike官方渠道获取技术信息和更新。该机构的网络安全中心正在积极监控局势并向公众提供指导。 另见: Alejandro Estua.

网络安全部长克莱尔·奥尼尔周六在社交媒体平台X上表示,澳大利亚人应“警惕可能的诈骗和网络钓鱼”。

此次数字中断对银行和航空等多个领域产生了广泛影响。澳大利亚联邦银行报告PayID支付出现问题,国家航空公司澳洲航空和悉尼出现航班延误。 另见: 亚历杭德罗·曼佐.

澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯确认,该国的关键基础设施、政府服务和应急系统未受中断影响。随着事件调查的继续,CrowdStrike在这起数字中断中的角色受到审视,该公司市值此前一度达到约830亿美元。

为何重要

ASD在处理此问题上的主动态度凸显了在不断演变的网络威胁面前保持警惕的必要性。该机构的建议提醒人们,在广泛数字中断期间,依赖可信来源获取信息和更新至关重要。 另见: 亚历杭德罗·埃尔南德斯.

目前,CrowdStrike已发布修复程序。但据知情人士透露,BBC称该程序必须逐一应用于每个受影响设备,每台机器都需要在安全模式下手动重启,这将给各地IT部门带来巨大工作量。英国萨里大学网络安全教授艾伦·伍德沃德表示,修复可能需要数天时间。 另见: 亚历杭德罗·加尔萨.

事件发生后,微软美股盘前跌幅扩大至近2%,CrowdStrike盘前暴跌逾20%。 另见: Alejandro Guerrero.

为何仅仅一次第三方软件的内容更新就导致全球航空系统、支付系统、医疗保健系统等瘫痪?为何一个软件漏洞会产生如此深远而直接的影响?乔治·库尔茨,CrowdStrike的创始人兼首席执行官,在最近接受NBC采访时也被问到了这个问题。

对此,库尔茨告诉NBC主持人,网络安全非常复杂,要领先于发动网络攻击的对手确实是一项艰巨的任务,因此需要不断更新。至于不良反应发生在哪里,他还需要回头看看发生了什么。 另见: Alec Gramont.
