中情局黑客工具与16个国家的40起网络攻击有关

发布时间：2017-04-12 编辑：查字典英语网小编

The hacking tools used by the Central Intelligence Agency may have been involved in at least 40 cyberattacks in 16 countries, according to the computer security company Symantec.

Symantec said its report issued Monday was based on CIA files released by WikiLeaks last month. It found that tools in WikiLeaks' recent releases have been linked to the electronic infiltration of international, financial, energy and aerospace organizations across the world.

Companies, universities and government departments were all subject to attacks, with the Middle East being the primary target for attacks.

The word "CIA'' was not mentioned in Symantec's post, but few if any doubt that that's where the tools come from. When WikiLeaks began releasing them in early March, it gave an unusually explicit account of how the tools had been taken from the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence.

The CIA refused to comment directly on the report by Symantec or on the authenticity of the documents released by WikiLeaks. Instead, a spokesman defended the agency's efforts to "aggressively collect foreign intelligence," and said the U.S. public should be "deeply troubled" by WikiLeaks' behavior.

据计算机安全公司赛门铁克的一份报告，美国中央情报局使用的黑客工具，可能被用于16个国家发生的至少40起网络攻击事件。

赛门铁克表示，他们星期一发表的报告是基于维基解密网站上个月发布的中情局文件。该公司发现，维基解密网站最近公布的黑客工具和全世界各地发生的电子侵入国际、金融、能源和航空航天机构事件有关。

公司、大学和政府部门都是攻击的目标，中东地区是网络攻击的首要目标地区。

赛门铁克公司的报告中没有提及“中情局”，但是几乎没有人怀疑中情局是这些黑客工具的来源地。维基解密网站3月初开始公布这些黑客工具时，该网站不同寻常地说明了这些工具是如何从中情局网络情报中心获取的。

中情局拒绝对赛门铁克公司的报告或者维基解密网站公布文件的真实性直接发表评论。中情局一位发言人为该机构“积极搜集外国情报”的努力进行了辩护，表示美国公众应当对维基解密的行为“深感忧虑”。
