中国驳斥微软黑客攻击说
‘Volt Typhoon’ campaign focused on gathering intelligence and espionage, according to US technology group
微软警告称，受中国政府支持的黑客组织Volt Typhoon侵入美国“关键”基础设施，主要收集和刺探情报，而非立即造成破坏。
Microsoft has warned that a state-sponsored Chinese hacking group has compromised “critical” infrastructure in the US in order to disrupt communications between the country and Asia in the event of a crisis.
微软(Microsoft)警告称，一个受到中国政府支持的黑客组织侵入了美国“关键”基础设施，潜伏其中以待发生危机时干扰美国与亚洲之间的通信。
In a rare announcement about a systems breach, the US technology group said the hackers, codenamed “Volt Typhoon”, have operated since mid-2021. They have been able to infiltrate organisations across industries by exploiting vulnerabilities in a popular cyber security platform called FortiGuard, Microsoft said.
这家美国科技集团在一份关于系统漏洞的罕见声明中表示，这些代号为“Volt Typhoon”的黑客自2021年年中以来一直在行动。微软表示，利用一个名为FortiGuard的流行网络安全平台的漏洞，他们得以渗透各行各业的组织。
“In this campaign, the affected organisations span the communications, manufacturing, utility, transportation, construction, maritime, government, information technology, and education sectors,” Microsoft said. It added that the hacking group’s actions had focused on gathering intelligence and espionage, rather than causing immediate disruption.
微软说：“在这场行动中，受影响的组织分布在各行各业，包括通信、制造、公用事业、交通、建筑、海事、政府、信息技术和教育。”微软补充称，该黑客组织的行动主要集中在收集和刺探情报上，而不是立即造成破坏。
