China’s government-run online train ticket sales site 12306 has been causing problems since pretty much the moment it was launched. It broke during its first Spring Festival rush back in 2011, and since then has been the source of a litany of complaints: not processing refunds, cheating customers, promising an app that didn’t materialize for years and then sucked when it finally showed up, breaking again, listing nonsensical departure/arrival times, being associated with corruption, facilitating ticket scalping, shutting down third-party services that fix its bugs, and 自从12306在线火车票订购网站的诞生后，这个由中国政府独立运营的系统似乎就在不停地出问题。2011年，在它第一次开始运营春运高峰时它就崩溃了，接下来它便成了一系列抱怨的根源：不处理退票，欺骗客户，承诺的app多年没有出现，一出现就糟糕透顶，反复瘫痪，显示无意义的出发抵达时间，贪污腐败，促进倒票行为，关闭帮助其修补漏洞的第三方服务，等等等等。 That’s an incredibly litany of crimes for a service that has only been around for three years, but its latest may be the worst yet: last week news broke that personal data from 140,000 users was leaked via a security flaw on the 12306 site. The leaked data includes personal ID numbers, email addresses, and phone numbers. It also contains unencrypted, plaintext passwords. 作为刚刚运营了3年的服务系统，它一连串的罪行是令人难以置信的，而最近新爆出的一条可能是最糟糕的：上周消息传出，由于12306网站的一个安全漏洞140000用户的个人信息被泄露。泄露信息包括个人身份证号码，电子邮箱地址还有电话号码。它还包含未加密的明文密码。 |
