Businesses and cyber-security 商业活动与网络安全 A spook speaks. 鬼魅之声。 Its cost may be hard to count, but cybercrime hascompanies worried. 网络犯罪损失难料，公司企业忧心忡忡。 LIKE blooms on a peculiar plant, speeches by thehead of the British security service are rare; andwhen they do appear, they draw attention. On June 25th Jonathan Evans, the director-general of MI5, burst into oratorical flower for the first time in 21 months. After commentingon preparations for the Olympic Games and on counter-terrorism, Mr Evans turned to cyber-security-where the front lineis as much in business as it is in government. States as wellas criminals were up to no good, he said: in particular, a major London listed company withwhich we have worked had lost revenue of some ￡800m to state-sponsoredcyber-attack. The firm in question had lost intellectual property and had been put at adisadvantage in commercial negotiations. 英国安全局的发言就如铁树开花一般罕见，而一旦他们发话了，便立即吸引众人目光。6月25日，军情五处的总干事Jonathan Evans在沉默了21个月后首次发表演讲。他先评价了奥运会准备工作和反恐的问题，接着便把话题转移到网络安全上 在前线企业和政府的遭遇没什么区别 。他说，国家和个人罪犯都不怀好意，尤其是国家给予经济支持的网络攻击，使得 部分受我们保护的主要伦敦上市企业 盈利损失近达 8亿英镑 。遭受攻击的企业失去了知识产权，还会在商务谈判中处于劣势。 |
