ESET 的网络安全顾问杰克·摩尔解释道:“就像在高速公路上,当你封锁一条车道时,你必须将所有多余的车流挤进仅剩的一两条车道里。一切都会堵塞、变慢,这就是我们现在看到的情况。”他告诉 BBC Radio 4 的《今日节目》,这一事件应当“敲响警钟”,凸显出建立“独立于其他系统”的应急通信网络的必要性。
"Just like on a motorway, when you block one lane, you have to put all of the excess traffic through just, say, one or two lanes," Jake Moore, a cyber-security adviser at ESET, explained. "Everything goes and backs up. It slows down, and that's what we're seeing here." He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that this incident should "hammer home" the need for contingency communication networks that are "independent of others".
“不幸的是,我们过分依赖少数几家供应商——所以当像这样的大供应商瘫痪时,连锁影响就是巨大的。”他在肯特郡经营一家公关公司的卡罗琳·韦德对 BBC 表示,此次故障给她的工作造成了“巨大干扰”,其中包括一位客户的展览开幕和另一位在伦敦市中心开展大型公共艺术项目的客户。他的观点得到了尼基·朱的呼应,后者表示其网络安全公司 Mimecast 使用微软工具,但内置了替代方案以防止中断。
摩尔补充道,“传统的老式电话线”似乎是“最强有力的通信方式,尤其是在今天”。
"Unfortunately, we just put so much emphasis on just a few providers - so when one big one like this goes down, the knock-on effects are just huge." His sentiment was echoed by Nicky Choo, who said his cyber-security firm Mimecast used Microsoft tools but had built-in alternatives to prevent disruption. Moore added that "good old-fashioned phone lines" seemed to be "the strongest form of communication, especially today". Caroline Wade, who runs her own PR agency in Kent, told the BBC that the outage had caused "huge disruption" to her work, including one client with an exhibition launch and another running a large public art project in central London.
“你觉得这是可以依赖的东西——令人难以置信的是,它竟然还没解决,”她说。
