Gmail under attack Gmail遭到袭击 Something phishy 网络袭击事件 A Chinese cyber-attack on a jumpy America 一起中国对颤颤巍巍的美国网络安全的网络袭击 THE more onerous internet security in the office becomes, the more attractive easy-to-useservices such as Googles Gmail. This paradox is at the heart of what looks like a big cyber-attack by China against the private e-mail accounts of hundreds of seniorofficials, military types and journalists from America and Asian countries, chiefly South Korea. 在工作中网络安全的保护越来越棘手，而诸如谷歌旗下的Gmail之类的易用网络服务反而越发受欢迎正是抓住了这个要害，一起疑似由中国发起的盗用数百位资深政府官员、军方人员和记者私人邮箱账号的网络袭击事件发生了，该事件产生了颇大影响。 Google says it has detected and disrupted this campaign, first noted in February by ablogger, Mila Parkour. Unlike previous Chinese attacks on Google, which involved heavyweightcryptographic attacks on its software, this one was clever but simple. Targets receivedplausible-seeming phishing e-mails, often sent from faked State Department addresses, witha subject line such as Fw: Draft US-China joint statement and an attachment. Clicking onthat produced a bogus Gmail screen. Anyone unwise enough to give their login and passwordwould make their past and future e-mails, and contacts, available to the snooper. |
