加州立法禁止电子设备设置简单默认密码

Default passwords such as "admin" and "password" will be illegal for electronics firms to use in California from 2020.

从2020年开始，电子产品公司使用诸如“admin”和“password”这样的默认密码，在加州将被认为是非法行为。

The state has passed a law that sets higher security standards for net-connected devices made or sold in the region.

该州已通过了一项为该地区制造或销售的联网设备设置更高的安全标准的法律。

It demands that each gadget be given a unique password when it is made.

Before now, easy-to-guess passwords have helped some cyber-attacks spread more quickly and cause more harm.

此前，容易破密的密码加速了网络攻击的传播，造成了更大的危害。

The Information Privacy: Connected Devices bill demands that electronics manufacturers equip their products with "reasonable" security features.

《信息隐私: 联网设备》法案要求电子设备制造商需给其产品配备“合理的”安全功能。

The bill also allows customers who suffer harm when a company ignores the law to sue for damages.

当公司无视该法律时，该法案还允许受害消费者进行起诉要求赔偿。

Many recent cyber-attacks have taken advantage of the default and easy-to-guess passwords on the devices found in millions of homes and offices.

最近的许多次网络攻击，都是利用数以百万计的家庭和办公室设备的默认或简单易猜的密码实现的。
