内政部长托尼·伯克警告澳大利亚人,任何连接互联网的设备都是“可被黑客攻击的”。此前,法国将针对超市冷柜的大规模网络攻击归咎于伊朗。
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has warned Australians that any device connected to the internet is “hackable”, as France blames Iran for a large-scale cyber attack targeting supermarket freezers.
上个月,黑客篡改了法国700多家门店冷柜的温度控制系统,部分冷柜温度过高甚至起火。目前仍在统计总损失,但变质商品的估计损失额高达数千万美元。
Hackers last month overrode temperature controls for freezers in more than 700 stores across France, with some getting so hot they caught fire. Total costs are stilling being tallied, but estimates for products spoiled sit in the tens of millions of dollars.
法国外交部长让-诺埃尔·巴罗周二表示,“这次攻击是由伊朗伊斯兰共和国伊斯兰革命卫队实施的”。他说:“这次攻击在规模和攻击性程度上都是空前的。”
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on Tuesday that “this attack was carried out by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of the Islamic Republic of Iran”. “This attack is unprecedented in both its scale and its level of aggression,” he said.
伊斯兰革命卫队全面掌控着伊朗政权的方方面面,从国防、间谍活动到经济和教育无所不包。它直接向最高领袖负责,其核心使命是不惜一切代价捍卫伊斯兰神权政治。
The IRGC has an iron grip on every aspect of the Iranian regime, steering everything from defence and espionage to the economy and education. Answering directly to the supreme leader, its core mission is to safeguard the Islamic theocracy at all costs.
在情报机构发现伊斯兰革命卫队在澳大利亚主导了几起反犹太袭击后,澳大利亚去年通过了相关立法,允许将其列为国家资助恐怖主义实体。
Australia passed legislation last year allowing it to list the IRGC as a state sponsor of terrorism after intelligence agencies found it masterminded several antisemitic attacks in Australian.
巴罗表示:“这是针对我们国家领土、旨在进行破坏的首起大规模网络攻击,它构成了对国家利益和法国人民安全的重大攻击。我们将在欧洲层面实施制裁,对象涵盖所有责任人。”
“It marks the first large-scale cyberattack aimed at sabotage on our national territory, and it constitutes a major attack on the nation’s interests and the security of the French people,” Mr Barrot said. “We will implement sanctions at the European level against all those responsible.”
伯克在堪培拉面对媒体时证实,各机构正在审查澳大利亚超市面临的任何风险。
Fronting media in Canberra, Mr Burke confirmed agencies were reviewing any risks to Australia’s supermarkets.
他说:“实际上,现在很大一部分经济运作的方式,包括在食品安全等问题上,就是如果你拥有一个联网设备,那么你潜在就拥有了一个可被黑客攻击的设备。因此,欧洲在制冷方面已经看到了这一点。我的机构从未停止处理此类工作。”
“And effectively the nature of how so much of the economy works now, including in issues like food security, is if you have a connected device, then potentially you have a hackable device,” he said. “So, Europe has seen that with respect to refrigeration. My agencies never stop working through that.”
本月早些时候,另一波攻击将欧洲其他国家的超市作为目标。尽管规模较小,但仍有数十家门店受到影响。
Earlier this month, another wave of attacks targeted supermarkets in other European countries. While smaller, dozens of stores were affected.
