美國中央司令部社交媒體賬號"被黑"
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.
美國中央司令部（United States Central Command ，代號USCENTCOM）的社交媒體賬號被一個自稱與“伊拉克與黎凡特伊斯蘭國”(Isis)有聯繫的組織侵入。中央司令部是美軍覆蓋中東的指揮部。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賬號上發佈了許多信息，包括他們所稱的五角大樓(Pentagon)內部文件的屏幕截圖。以佛羅里達州爲大本營的中央司令部負責協調在伊拉克和敘利亞打擊Isis的行動。其在視頻網站YouTube的賬號也被入侵。
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.
黑客首次發起攻擊後，中央司令部的Twitter賬號在格林尼治時間18時（美國東部時間13時）剛過暫停了大約20分鐘。幾分鐘後，YouTube賬號也隨之暫停。一位五角大樓的官員告訴全國廣播公司新聞部(NBC News)，這次襲擊“令人難堪”，但並不代表安全威脅。
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.
此次黑客攻擊開始前不到一個小時，美國總統巴拉克•奧巴馬(Barack Obama)提出3條新的網絡安全立法，呼籲企業在遭遇數據外泄時早些向客戶提供信息。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”.
在美國中央司令部Twitter賬號暫停使用之前，黑客攻擊者在其Twitter頁面上寫道：“美國士兵們，我們來了，小心背後。Isis。網絡‘哈里發’”。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.
自去年以來，網絡安全專家一直警告稱，Isis將仿效敘利亞電子軍(Syrian Electronic Army)的做法，針對西方政府和企業發動網絡攻擊。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.
在紐約上市的網絡安全公司FireEye首席執行官大衛•德•沃爾特(David De Walt)告訴英國《金融時報》，伊斯蘭主義武裝分子正囤積在黑市購買的網絡武器。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.
黑客組織Lizard Squad此前聲稱與Isis有聯繫，當時該組織針對包括索尼(Sony)和微軟(Microsoft)在內的遊戲公司發動了黑客攻擊。該組織還與索尼影視娛樂(Sony Pictures)遭黑客攻擊有關。
