新聞背景:電子信息雖然產(chǎn)生在美國,但是無數(shù)次經(jīng)驗向大家證明了,誰發(fā)明的并不重要,重要的是誰用的好。果不其然,近期美國公布了發(fā)生在幾個月前的一次黑客襲擊讓自稱固若金湯的美國國防部丟失了大量的機密信息。
The Pentagon has admitted it suffered a major cyber attack in which thousands of files were taken by foreign hackers. Deputy Defence Secretary William Lynn said that in a March attack and other breaches, hackers had taken information on "our most sensitive systems". The admission came as the Pentagon rolled out a strategy for strengthening US cyber capabilities and addressing threats and attacks in cyberspace.
五角大樓最近承認美國國防部近期遭到黑客襲擊大批資料丟失。防務秘書William Lynn表示在三月份的一次黑客進攻中,國防部丟失大量的敏感信息。這次公布來自于一次美國國防部發(fā)布關于強化信息安全并且定位威脅和進攻的一次戰(zhàn)略會議中。
The plan would treat cyberspace in a similar manner to land, air and sea. "In the 21st Century, bits and bytes can be as threatening as bullets and bombs," Mr Lynn said, unveiling the plan. In a speech at National Defense University in Washington, Mr Lynn said about 24,000 files containing Pentagon data were stolen from a defence industry computer network in March, marking one of the largest cyber attacks in US history.

這個計劃將會將數(shù)字空間等同于領土來捍衛(wèi)。Lynn在介紹計劃的時候說“在21世紀,數(shù)字信號可以如同炸彈和子彈一樣可怕”。在一個關于華盛頓國防大學的演講中,Lynn表示2.4萬份資料在襲擊中被盜取,這些數(shù)據(jù)涉及五角大樓的國防工業(yè)信息,這幾乎是美國史上最大一次黑客襲擊。
He said at least one attack - a previously revealed 2008 penetration of classified computer systems - had come from a foreign intelligence service, and in an interview ahead of the speech said the Pentagon believed the March attack had been perpetrated by a foreign government.
Lynn在演講中和演講前的一次發(fā)布會中表示,五角大樓相信從2008年至今至少有不止一次黑客盜取的機密資料的xi可以定位在國外的政府特勤機構,而三月份這一次定然是國外政府特勤部門所為。
"We have a pretty good idea" who did it, he told the Associated Press news agency. In his speech, he said some of the stolen data was "mundane, like the specifications for small parts of tanks, airplanes, and submarines." But a great deal of it concerns our most sensitive systems, including aircraft avionics, surveillance technologies, satellite communications systems, and network security protocols," he said.
在發(fā)布會中Lynn表示:我對于結論非常確定,被偷走的資料非常的功利,主要包括美國坦克、飛機和潛艇的細節(jié)資料。但是也包括一些非常敏感的信息,如航空航天技術,隱形技術,衛(wèi)星傳輸技術和網(wǎng)絡安全協(xié)議技術等等。
Mr Lynn said cyber attacks in the future would not only focus on stealing data but also damaging US defences or even causing deaths. He added that virtual intruders have previously tried to extract files related to missile tracking systems and the Joint Strike Fighter. "Keystrokes originating in one country can impact the other side of the globe in the blink of an eye," Mr Lynn said.
他同時也表示在未來黑客攻擊將會不只局限于偷取數(shù)據(jù),也會旨在破壞美國防御系統(tǒng)甚至造成死亡。他還說:這些入侵嘗試了獲取有關于導彈跟蹤系統(tǒng)的數(shù)據(jù),以及聯(lián)合襲擊戰(zhàn)士的信息。一個國家一個按鍵的攻擊會導致地球另一邊另外一個國家的巨大破壞,就在彈指之間。
He added that information technology has become so important to the US government that it "virtually guarantees that future adversaries will target our dependence on it". Mr Lynn said the Department of Defense Strategy for Operating in Cyberspace was defensive, countering earlier criticism that the strategy might be too aggressive.
在最后他還表示電子信息技術已經(jīng)變得非常重要,它可以導致未來的敵人利用美國對于信息技術的依賴而發(fā)動攻擊。Lynn同時也反駁說美國的電子信息運作是防御性的,絕非進攻性的。
