美国官员称中国黑客攻击政府邮箱属于典型间谍活动
China’s Hacking of Government Email Was Traditional Espionage, Official Says

来源:纽约时报    2023-07-21 11:19



        The hack of Microsoft’s cloud that resulted in the compromise of government emails was an example of a traditional espionage threat, a senior National Security Agency official said.
        国家安全局一名高级官员表示,微软云服务遭黑客攻击导致政府电子邮件泄露的事件属于典型的传统间谍威胁。
        Speaking at the Aspen Security Forum, Rob Joyce, the director of cybersecurity at the N.S.A., said the United States needed to protect its networks from such espionage, but that adversaries would continue to try to secretly extract information from each other.
        国家安全局网络安全负责人罗伯·乔伊斯在阿斯彭安全论坛上发表讲话称,美国需要保护其网络免受此类间谍活动的侵害,但互相为敌的国家依然会继续试图秘密挖取对方的信息。
        “It is China doing espionage,” Mr. Joyce said. “It is what nation-states do. We have to defend against it, we need to push back against it. But that is something that happens.”
        “这是中国的间谍活动,”乔伊斯表示。“民族国家都会做这样的事情。我们必须进行防卫,也需要拿出反击手段。但这种情况总是会发生的。”
        The hackers took emails from senior State Department officials including Nicholas Burns, the U.S. ambassador to China. The theft of Mr. Burns’ emails was earlier reported by The Wall Street Journal and confirmed by a person familiar with the matter.
        中国黑客窃取了包括美国驻华大使尼古拉斯·伯恩斯在内的国务院要员的电邮。《华尔街日报》早前报道了伯恩斯电邮遭盗取一事,并得到了一位知情人的证实。
        The emails of Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo were also obtained in the hack, which was discovered in June by State Department cybersecurity experts scouring user logs for unusual activity. Microsoft later determined that Chinese hackers had obtained access to email accounts a month earlier.
        黑客还窃取了商务部长吉娜·雷蒙多的电邮,国务院网络安全专家于6月在搜索用户日志查找异常活动时发现了这个问题。微软随后确认,中国黑客在一个月以前就获得了这些电邮帐户的访问权限。
        In a new deal with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency announced on Wednesday, Microsoft agreed to provide access to cloud computing logs to more users so they could hunt for unusual activity or potential hacks.
        在周三宣布的与网络安全与基础设施安全局的一项新协议中,微软同意向更多用户提供访问云计算日志的权限,以便查找异常活动或潜在的黑客攻击。
        Hundreds of thousands of emails were compromised, but U.S. officials have described the attack as a targeted one that used a compromised security key to penetrate selected Microsoft Outlook mailboxes.
        数以十万计的电邮遭到泄露,但美国官员称这是一次有针对性的黑客攻击,黑客利用一个泄露的安全密匙入侵了选定的微软Outlook邮箱。
        Mr. Joyce said the attackers were able to impersonate authorization to read those emails.
        乔伊斯说,黑客能够仿冒授权来查阅这些电子邮件。
        Speaking alongside Mr. Joyce, Brad Smith, the president of Microsoft, said the attack showed the “growing sophistication” of China.
        与乔伊斯一起发言的微软总裁布拉德·史密斯表示,此次攻击显示了中国黑客能力的“愈发成熟”。
        But both Mr. Joyce and Mr. Smith said the hack announced last week was less concerning than a broader breach that Microsoft, the N.S.A. and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency announced in May. In that intrusion, which affected networks in Guam and elsewhere, malware was placed inside critical infrastructure and some unclassified military systems. Such cyberweapons could be used if tensions escalate between the United States and China over Taiwan.
        但乔伊斯和史密斯均表示,与微软、国家安全局和网络安全与基础设施安全局在今年5月宣布的一起规模更大的入侵事件相比,上周公布的黑客事件并不是那么令人担忧。那起入侵影响了关岛等地的网络、关键基础设施和一些非机密军事系统中都被植入了恶意软件。如果美中在台湾问题上的紧张局势升级,这类网络武器可能会派上用场。
        In the hack announced last week, U.S. officials have said Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken’s emails were not compromised. In a statement last week, Mr. Blinken said the incident remains under investigation.
        在上周公布的黑客事件中,美国官员称国务卿布林肯的电邮未遭到泄露。布林肯在上周一份声明中表示,该事件仍在调查中。
        “As a general matter, we have consistently made clear to China as well as to other countries that any action that targets the U.S. government or U.S. companies, American citizens, is of deep concern to us, and we will take appropriate action in response,” Mr. Blinken said.
        “作为一个普遍性问题,我们一直都在向中国以及其他国家明确表示,任何针对美国政府或企业,还有美国公民的行动都会引起我们的严正关切,我们也将采取适当行动予以回应,”布林肯说。
