Expert: North Korea’s Cyber Abilities Growing

專家稱朝鮮網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊能力見漲

Some experts believe North Korea's ability to carry out computer attacks is increasing. They point to a reported attack that took place in September of last year as evidence.

有專家認為，朝鮮執(zhí)行電腦攻擊的能力越來越強。他們將去年9月發(fā)生的一起電腦入侵作為證據(jù)。

Attackers, believed to be North Koreans, took thousands of military documents including war plans aimed at destroying North Korea's leadership if war takes place. The war plans, known as Operation Plan 5015, were jointly created by the U.S. and South Korean militaries.

這些入侵者被認為是朝鮮人，他們拿到了數(shù)千份軍事文件，其中包括如果戰(zhàn)爭爆發(fā)消滅朝鮮領(lǐng)導層的戰(zhàn)爭計劃。這份戰(zhàn)爭計劃被稱之為《5015號戰(zhàn)爭計劃》，它是由美國和韓國軍隊聯(lián)合制定的。

Expert: ‘entirely possible' North Korea responsible

專家：完全可能是朝鮮的責任

Kenneth Geers is a security expert and a researcher with the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Center of Excellence based in Estonia. Recently, he spoke to VOA.

肯尼思·杰爾(Kenneth Geers)是總部位于愛沙尼亞的北約卓越協(xié)同網(wǎng)絡(luò)防御中心的安全專家及研究員。他最近接受了美國之音的采訪。

Geers said it is "entirely possible" that U.S.-South Korean war plans were taken. He added that it is possible that North Korea received help from Russia or China to do so.

杰爾表示，美韓戰(zhàn)爭計劃被朝鮮竊取完全是有可能的。他補充說，朝鮮可能得到了俄羅斯的幫助。

All digitized information, Geers said, is very difficult to protect. He said large computer systems often have many points that can be attacked and North Korea knows who to target.

杰爾表示，所有數(shù)字化信息都很難保護。他說，大型計算機系統(tǒng)往往有很多可以攻擊的點，朝鮮知道針對誰。

He said one possibility is that North Korea may be trying to steal money. The country has been under increasingly tight sanctions after two United Nations Security Council resolutions this year targeted its export income.

他說，有一種可能性是，朝鮮可能是在試圖竊取資金。今年有兩項聯(lián)合國安理會決議針對朝鮮的出口收入，朝鮮面臨的制裁日益嚴峻。

Another possibility, Geers said, is that North Korea wants to know if it is about to be attacked. In order to do that, they would need plans from the U.S., Korea and Japan.

杰爾表示，另一種可能性是，朝鮮想知道是否即將會面臨攻擊。為了做到這點，他們需要獲得美國、韓國和日本的計劃。

Other cyberattacks linked to North Korea

其它和朝鮮有關(guān)的網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊

North Korea has been linked to computer attacks that have caused notable damage in the past.

朝鮮一直跟以往造成重大損失的電腦攻擊有牽連。

In 2014, North Korea was blamed for entering the computer systems of Sony Pictures Entertainment. The attack caused many computers belonging to the movie production company to become useless. It was seen as a reaction to that studio's attempt to release the film, The Interview. The movie showed an attempt to kill North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un.

2014年，朝鮮被指責入侵了索尼影視娛樂公司的計算機系統(tǒng)。這次入侵導致很多屬于該電影制作公司的計算機失效。這被視為朝鮮對該公司試圖發(fā)行《The Interview》這部電影的報復。該電影講述了一次刺殺朝鮮最高領(lǐng)導人的嘗試。

More recently, reports from 2016 linked the theft of $81 million from the central bank of Bangladesh to North Korea.

就在最近，2016年的一些報告將孟加拉國8100萬美元失竊同朝鮮聯(lián)系了起來。

South Korea suspects North Korea has attempted attacks in recent years on computer systems of its energy system and some of its banks as well as its military.

韓國疑心朝鮮近年來試圖入侵其能源系統(tǒng)、部分銀行以及軍方的計算機系統(tǒng)。

Cyberattacks can seek information, target equipment

網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊可以收集情報并針對目標設(shè)備

But Geers does not believe that North Korea could win a cyberwar with the U.S., South Korea or other Western countries. He said North Korea's internet system is small and an easy target for cyberattacks that can limit or shut down its networks.

但是杰爾不認為朝鮮可以贏得同美國、韓國或其它西方國家的網(wǎng)絡(luò)戰(zhàn)。他說，朝鮮的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)系統(tǒng)對可以限制或關(guān)閉其網(wǎng)絡(luò)的黑客來說非常渺小，同時也是一個很容易的目標。

Geers said cyberwarfare can take many forms. It can involve secretly getting information and spying on computer systems. Cyberwarfare methods also can seek to make changes to computer systems that limit or block advanced weapons from operating correctly.

杰爾表示，網(wǎng)絡(luò)戰(zhàn)爭有多種形式。它可能涉及秘密竊取信息和監(jiān)聽計算機系統(tǒng)。網(wǎng)絡(luò)戰(zhàn)爭手段也可以尋求篡改計算機系統(tǒng)，限制或阻止先進武器的正確運行。

In the case of missiles, a cyber attack might block important information that is needed in order to fly a missile in the right direction. It is even possible to cause a missile to travel in the wrong direction.

以導彈為例，網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊可以阻斷導彈飛向正確方向所需的重要信息。它甚至有可能使導彈飛向錯誤的方向。

"A computers might have no way of knowing that it's the right or wrong target. Computers don't think that way. They just respond to commands. In that way, they can be very smart and very stupid at the same time."

杰爾說：“計算機可能沒有辦法知道目標的對錯，計算機不會這么思考，它們只會對命令做出反應(yīng)。在這種情況下，它們可能既非常聰明又非常傻。”

One example of a cyberattack targeted Iran's nuclear program and was identified in 2010. The Stuxnet virus is said to have caused damage to computer systems linked to Iran's nuclear weapons program.

針對伊朗核計劃的網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊就是一個例子，這次攻擊在2010年被確定。據(jù)說震網(wǎng)病毒對伊朗核武器計劃相關(guān)的計算機系統(tǒng)造成了損害。
