据两名知情人士透露，美国联邦调查局导演提名人卡什·帕特尔(Kash Patel)周二遭到了据信来自伊朗的网络攻击。
当选总统唐纳德·特朗普周六宣布他计划解雇美国联邦调查局导演克里斯托弗·雷后，提名了他的长期盟友帕特尔。
帕特尔多年来一直是特朗普的坚定支持者，并在他的第一届政府中担任过许多角色。
“卡什·帕特尔是第一届特朗普政府打击伊朗恐怖主义政权的关键组成部分，作为美国联邦调查局主任，他将执行特朗普总统保护美国免受对手攻击的政策，”特朗普过渡时期发言人亚历克斯·普发尔说。
Kash Patel, Trump's pick to lead FBI, hit with Iranian cyberattack, sources say
The FBI director nominee Kash Patel was hit with what is believed to be a cyberattack emanating from Iran on Tuesday, according to two sources familiar with the situation.
President-elect Donald Trump nominated his longtime ally Patel on Saturday after announcing he planned on firing FBI director Christopher Wray.
Patel has been a staunch supporter of Trump for years and served in his first administration in a number of roles.
"Kash Patel was a key part of the first Trump administration's efforts against the terrorist Iranian regime and will implement President Trump’s policies to protect America from adversaries as the FBI Director," said Trump transition spokesman Alex Pfeiffer.
