推荐人: 来源: 阅读: 2.79W 次

Social media accounts run by Central Command, the US military command covering the Middle East, have been hacked by a group claiming to be linked to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, known as Isis.

美国中央司令部(United States Central Command ,代号USCENTCOM)的社交媒体账号被一个自称与“伊拉克与黎凡特伊斯兰国”(Isis)有联系的组织侵入。中央司令部是美军覆盖中东的指挥部。

The hackers posted a number of messages on Centcom’s Twitter feed, including screenshots of what they claimed were internal Pentagon documents. The Florida-based military command, which coordinates operations against Isis in Iraq and Syria, also had its YouTube account hacked.

黑客在中央司令部的Twitter账号上发布了许多信息,包括他们所称的五角大楼(Pentagon)内部文件的屏幕截图。以佛罗里达州为大本营的中央司令部负责协调在伊拉克和叙利亚打击Isis的行动。其在视频网站YouTube的账号也被入侵。

Centcom’s Twitter feed was suspended just after 1800 GMT, or 1300 eastern time, about 20 minutes after the hack first started, and the suspension of the YouTube account followed minutes later. A Pentagon official told NBC News that the attack was “embarrassing” but did not represent a security threat.

黑客首次发起攻击后,中央司令部的Twitter账号在格林尼治时间18时(美国东部时间13时)刚过暂停了大约20分钟。几分钟后,YouTube账号也随之暂停。一位五角大楼的官员告诉全国广播公司新闻部(NBC News),这次袭击“令人难堪”,但并不代表安全威胁。

The hack started less than an hour after President Barack Obama proposed three new pieces of cyber security legislation, calling for companies to provide earlier information to clients when they have suffered a data breach.

此次黑客攻击开始前不到一个小时,美国总统巴拉克•奥巴马(Barack Obama)提出3条新的网络安全立法,呼吁企业在遭遇数据外泄时早些向客户提供信息。

In a statement on the Centcom Twitter account before the account was suspended, the attackers wrote: “American soldiers, we are coming, watch your back. Isis. Cybercaliphate”.

在美国中央司令部Twitter账号暂停使用之前,黑客攻击者在其Twitter页面上写道:“美国士兵们,我们来了,小心背后。Isis。网络‘哈里发’”。

Cyber security experts have warned since last year that Isis would follow in the footsteps of the Syrian Electronic Army to target cyber attacks at western governments and corporations.

自去年以来,网络安全专家一直警告称,Isis将仿效叙利亚电子军(Syrian Electronic Army)的做法,针对西方政府和企业发动网络攻击。

David De Walt, chief executive of FireEye, a New York-listed cyber security company, told the FT that Islamist militants were hoarding cyber weaponry bought on underground markets.

在纽约上市的网络安全公司FireEye首席执行官大卫•德•沃尔特(David De Walt)告诉英国《金融时报》,伊斯兰主义武装分子正囤积在黑市购买的网络武器。

One hacktivist group, Lizard Squad, which was also linked to the attack on Sony Pictures, previously claimed links to Isis when targeting gaming companies including Sony and Microsoft.

黑客组织Lizard Squad此前声称与Isis有联系,当时该组织针对包括索尼(Sony)和微软(Microsoft)在内的游戏公司发动了黑客攻击。该组织还与索尼影视娱乐(Sony Pictures)遭黑客攻击有关。
