本周欧洲超市再次遭遇网络攻击,制冷系统在一个月内第二次受损,重燃人们对关键基础设施安全的担忧。

Another wave of cyberattacks against European supermarkets this week compromised refrigeration systems for the second time in a month, rekindling fears over the security of critical infrastructure.

虽然此类攻击目前造成的后果主要是经济损失和不便,但由人工智能赋能的新一代网络战可能预示着更具毁灭性的破坏。法国国家血液服务机构——全国1900家医院依赖其供血——周二表示,黑客篡改了冷藏设备的温度设定,但攻击在造成损害前被挫败。

While such attacks so far have been costly and inconvenient, a new era of AI-enabled cyberwarfare could portend more devastating disruptions. France’s national blood service, which 1,900 hospitals rely on, said Tuesday that hackers raised the temperature at cold storage units, but the attack was thwarted before any damage was done.

专家经常将此类事件归咎于俄罗斯:许多与克里姆林宫结盟的黑客攻击手法并不高明,但一位网络安全分析师表示,“问题在于,他们探测得越多,就越有可能发现未受良好保护的关键目标。”

Experts frequently blame Russia for such incidents: Many Kremlin-aligned hacks are unsophisticated, but “the problem is that the more they poke around, the more it is probable they can find something critical that wasn’t protected well,” a cyber analyst said.
