新闻背景:电子信息虽然产生在美国,但是无数次经验向大家证明了,谁发明的并不重要,重要的是谁用的好。果不其然,近期美国公布了发生在几个月前的一次黑客袭击让自称固若金汤的美国国防部丢失了大量的机密信息。

The Pentagon has admitted it suffered a major cyber attack in which thousands of files were taken by foreign hackers. Deputy Defence Secretary William Lynn said that in a March attack and other breaches, hackers had taken information on "our most sensitive systems". The admission came as the Pentagon rolled out a strategy for strengthening US cyber capabilities and addressing threats and attacks in cyberspace.
五角大楼最近承认美国国防部近期遭到黑客袭击大批资料丢失。防务秘书William Lynn表示在三月份的一次黑客进攻中,国防部丢失大量的敏感信息。这次公布来自于一次美国国防部发布关于强化信息安全并且定位威胁和进攻的一次战略会议中。

The plan would treat cyberspace in a similar manner to land, air and sea. "In the 21st Century, bits and bytes can be as threatening as bullets and bombs," Mr Lynn said, unveiling the plan. In a speech at National Defense University in Washington, Mr Lynn said about 24,000 files containing Pentagon data were stolen from a defence industry computer network in March, marking one of the largest cyber attacks in US history.

这个计划将会将数字空间等同于领土来捍卫。Lynn在介绍计划的时候说“在21世纪,数字信号可以如同炸弹和子弹一样可怕”。在一个关于华盛顿国防大学的演讲中,Lynn表示2.4万份资料在袭击中被盗取,这些数据涉及五角大楼的国防工业信息,这几乎是美国史上最大一次黑客袭击。

He said at least one attack - a previously revealed 2008 penetration of classified computer systems - had come from a foreign intelligence service, and in an interview ahead of the speech said the Pentagon believed the March attack had been perpetrated by a foreign government.
Lynn在演讲中和演讲前的一次发布会中表示,五角大楼相信从2008年至今至少有不止一次黑客盗取的机密资料的xi可以定位在国外的政府特勤机构,而三月份这一次定然是国外政府特勤部门所为。

"We have a pretty good idea" who did it, he told the Associated Press news agency. In his speech, he said some of the stolen data was "mundane, like the specifications for small parts of tanks, airplanes, and submarines." But a great deal of it concerns our most sensitive systems, including aircraft avionics, surveillance technologies, satellite communications systems, and network security protocols," he said.
在发布会中Lynn表示:我对于结论非常确定,被偷走的资料非常的功利,主要包括美国坦克、飞机和潜艇的细节资料。但是也包括一些非常敏感的信息,如航空航天技术,隐形技术,卫星传输技术和网络安全协议技术等等。

Mr Lynn said cyber attacks in the future would not only focus on stealing data but also damaging US defences or even causing deaths. He added that virtual intruders have previously tried to extract files related to missile tracking systems and the Joint Strike Fighter. "Keystrokes originating in one country can impact the other side of the globe in the blink of an eye," Mr Lynn said.
他同时也表示在未来黑客攻击将会不只局限于偷取数据,也会旨在破坏美国防御系统甚至造成死亡。他还说:这些入侵尝试了获取有关于导弹跟踪系统的数据,以及联合袭击战士的信息。一个国家一个按键的攻击会导致地球另一边另外一个国家的巨大破坏,就在弹指之间。

He added that information technology has become so important to the US government that it "virtually guarantees that future adversaries will target our dependence on it". Mr Lynn said the Department of Defense Strategy for Operating in Cyberspace was defensive, countering earlier criticism that the strategy might be too aggressive.
在最后他还表示电子信息技术已经变得非常重要,它可以导致未来的敌人利用美国对于信息技术的依赖而发动攻击。Lynn同时也反驳说美国的电子信息运作是防御性的,绝非进攻性的。
