司法 · 都柏林新闻编辑室遭威胁
RTÉ 在炸弹威胁后解除警戒,但谁扰乱了都柏林各新闻编辑室?

搜爆犬搜查了 RTÉ 的大楼,《今日与 David McCullagh》则在其常用演播室外的一辆车内播出。一封炸弹威胁邮件迫使广播机构的员工离开其位于 Donnybrook 的园区,也让其移动“roadcaster”成为新闻继续播出的方式。2
RTÉ 总干事 Kevin Bakhurst 表示,邮件约于上午 8:33 发出,并于 8:40 到达他手中。他与同事商议后,员工联系了爱尔兰警察 Gardaí。员工离开大楼,前往指定的安全区域;武装警员赶到现场,搜爆犬则搜查了园区。2
根据我们掌握的信息,我们决定首先保障员工安全,并疏散大楼。
Bakhurst 形容这造成了“很大的混乱”,但表示 RTÉ 最近审查过应急预案。广播机构在中断期间播放预录节目,并通过移动“roadcaster”维持新闻播出。这既不是一个正常的早间节目安排,也不是直播广播完全中断:工作场所无法使用,因此部分业务转移到了别处。2
同一条消息,不同新闻编辑室的决定
Virgin Media Television 也收到了这封邮件,但依照其安保程序行事,继续播出,并未疏散。收到同一威胁,并未让每个机构采取完全相同的应对措施。同样,也不应把向 Newstalk 提供的建议,延伸解读为警方已对每个收件方分别进行了有记录的搜查并得出结论。2
对作出这些决定的人来说,不确定性才是难题。警告即使最终被证明是假的,仍可能要求员工离开、采访中止、警方搜查工作场所。即便威胁随后被认定为恶作剧,造成的混乱也是真实的。
发件人地址不等于归属认定
政府认为这是一次协调一致的扰乱行动的可能性很高。政府声明称,恶作剧威胁造成了恐惧、困扰和混乱,并表示当局已针对受到威胁的机构采取必要预防措施。但声明也指出,责任尚未查明:认为协调行动的可能性很高,并不等于认定了组织者。37
邮件本身提供了调查线索,却没有给出答案。邮件发往公开列出的媒体地址,主题为“致西方的消息”,并声称对早前的航空威胁负责。这一说法并不能证明这些事件是由同一个人或团体所为。38
显示的发件人地址使用了一个与立陶宛一所学校有关联的域名。RTÉ 对技术邮件头的检查显示,该邮件经由获授权代表该域名发送邮件的 Microsoft 基础设施传递。因此,发件人地址只是简单伪造的可能性较低。但这并未查明究竟是谁写下或发送了这封威胁邮件。38
与该地址相关联的凭据至少曾出现在两起较早的数据泄露事件中。记录显示存在密码重复使用的情况,而且有一个密码以可读形式暴露。网络安全研究员 Maciej Makowski 曾在 An Garda Síochána 工作近 13 年,其中包括在其国家网络犯罪局任职;他认为,最可能的解释是有人未经授权访问了一个合法账户。38
这仍然只是对邮件可能如何发出的假设,并非账户被接管的证据。没有依据据此指控该学校或账户的合法所有者。在对责任作出结论前,调查人员需要区分合法的账户活动与任何未经授权的使用。38
政治界和新闻界的回应反映了针对新闻编辑室的威胁有多么严重。副总理 Simon Harris 表示:“任何针对媒体的袭击或袭击威胁,都是对我们民主制度的威胁和袭击。”全国记者联盟爱尔兰分会秘书 Seamus Dooley 称这是对新闻自由令人深感不安的袭击,司法部长 Jim O’Callaghan 则表示将努力查明责任人。这些回应并未确定发件人的身份或政治立场。4

播出原貌
- A bomb-threat email forced journalists out of their workplaces and interrupted live broadcasts.
- RTÉ's campus was declared safe around lunchtime, and Newstalk returned after staff were told its warning was a hoax. But the message displaced staff across several news organisations and brought police into their workplaces.
- Who sent the threats, and were they part of a coordinated operation?
- Staff evacuated RTÉ's Donnybrook campus and Newstalk's Marconi House in central Dublin. The Irish Independent temporarily evacuated its Talbot Street offices. The threats reached media organisations in Britain too, while Irish police acknowledged threats elsewhere in Europe.
- The evacuations happened on Friday, November sixth, twenty twenty-six. The email claimed a planted device would explode within forty-five minutes. That was the sender's threat. Staff and police had to assess the danger without knowing whether that claim was real.
- The email was sent at about eight thirty-three. RTÉ's director general received it at eight forty. Newstalk resumed broadcasting at ten, Dublin time. Around lunchtime, police declared RTÉ's campus safe, ending the closure described earlier that morning.
- RTÉ Director General Kevin Bakhurst consulted colleagues, and staff contacted Gardaí, Ireland's police. Employees left the buildings for designated safe areas. Armed officers attended, and sniffer dogs searched the campus buildings.
- Bakhurst said staff safety drove the evacuation decision. He described a lot of disruption, but said RTÉ had recently reviewed its contingency plans. Those arrangements helped the broadcaster keep news output going while police searched its usual workplaces.
- RTÉ used prerecorded programming during the disruption. Today with David McCullagh broadcast from its mobile broadcasting vehicle, known as the roadcaster, instead of the usual studio. The evacuation changed the schedule while some live broadcasting continued.
- Newstalk's evacuation interrupted The Claire Byrne Show at Marconi House. Byrne was presenting the commercial station's programme when she had to leave the air. After staff received advice that they could return, she resumed her programme.
- Byrne told listeners police had advised that the warning was a hoax and staff could return. She apologised for the interruption and continued with her next interview. That advice allowed Newstalk's staff to get back to work.
- Virgin Media Television received the email but stayed on air and didn't evacuate, after following its security procedures. The Irish Independent's staff left temporarily while security checks took place. Its owner, Mediahuis, and Newstalk's operator, Bauer Media, both had staff displaced.
- The government considered a coordinated campaign of disruption likely. Its statement described fear, distress and disruption from hoax threats, and said authorities had taken necessary precautions with the targeted organisations. Gardaí committed to investigating and liaised with the affected Irish newsrooms.
- Prime Minister Micheál Martin called the threats worrying and said authorities were taking them seriously. He said Gardaí, the Defence Forces, and cyber and aviation authorities were working to identify those responsible. They were also working with European security counterparts.
- Martin described how easily such messages could disrupt normal activity and cause anxiety. He discussed broader concerns about Russian connections to hybrid activity, but couldn't say Russia was responsible for the RTÉ threat. The government's coordination assessment hadn't identified an organiser.
- The email went to publicly listed media addresses in Ireland and Britain. Its subject line was MESSAGE TO THE WEST. The sender also claimed responsibility for earlier aviation threats. Whether the same person was behind those incidents remains part of the investigation.
- The displayed sender address used a domain associated with a Lithuanian school. An examination of the email's technical headers indicated it travelled through Microsoft infrastructure authorised to send for that domain. That made a simply forged sender address less likely, but didn't identify the writer.
- Credentials associated with the address appeared in at least two earlier data breaches. The records indicated password reuse and a password exposed in readable form. Cybersecurity researcher Maciej Makowski considered unauthorised access to a legitimate account the most likely explanation.
- Makowski spent almost thirteen years in the Gardaí, including its National Cyber Crime Bureau. His assessment remains a hypothesis. Investigators would need to separate legitimate account activity from any unauthorised use before drawing conclusions about who sent the message.
- Deputy Prime Minister Simon Harris called any attack or threat against the media an attack on democracy. Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan said the threats were being taken extremely seriously and that efforts would be made to identify those responsible.
- National Union of Journalists Irish secretary Seamus Dooley described a deeply disturbing attack on press freedom. Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald expressed concern for evacuated staff and their families and called for those responsible to face the law.
- Social Democrats media spokesperson Sinéad Gibney emphasised staff safety and resisting attempts to silence media workers. RTÉ's campus was cleared, Newstalk returned, and the Independent's evacuation ended. Who sent the email, and whether the threats shared an organiser, remained unresolved.
