Millions of Gmail users are being advised to change their passwords after a database with usernames and passwords was hacked and exposed on an internet site.
谷歌郵箱遭黑客攻擊,上百萬谷歌賬戶的用戶名和密碼被泄露。目前谷歌公司已建議用戶盡快更換密碼。
Hackers revealed nearly 5 million Gmail account details and passwords on Bitcoin Security – a popular Russian website devoted to cryptocurrency.
黑客是在一家俄羅斯知名網站—“比特幣安全”上公布了近500萬個谷歌賬號的信息和密碼的。
The leak became known after a user posted a link to the log-in credentials on Reddit frequented by hackers, professional and aspiring.
一名用戶在社交新聞網站Reddit(黑客、專業(yè)人士及年輕人經常光顧的一家網站)上貼出了“比特幣安全”網登陸憑證的一個鏈接后,此次泄露事件才曝光。
But the text file was published on Bitcoin on Tuesday night by a user called tvskit according to C News, a Russian news outlet.
據俄羅斯媒體稱,該賬戶文件是在9日晚上被一名叫tvskit的用戶公布的。
The person who leaked the details said the account holders were English, Russian, and Spanish and 60 percent of accounts were active.
泄露信息者稱賬戶擁有者包括英國人、俄羅斯人、西班牙人,而且60%的賬戶是使用狀態(tài)。
The passwords not only give access to Gmail, but other Google services such as Drive and the mobile payment system Google Wallet.
這些密碼不僅僅可以用來打開谷歌郵箱,還能使用其他谷歌服務,如Google Drive云儲存服務、移動支付系統(tǒng)谷歌錢包等。
Svetlana Anurova, a Google representative said Google is aware of the security breach and has advised users to change passwords.
谷歌發(fā)言人斯韋特蘭娜稱,谷歌意識到了存在安全漏洞,而且已經建議用戶更換密碼。
They also advise users to enable a two-step verification, a security measure where users are required to provide a passcode sent to their mobile devices before any changes can be made to their account.
他們還建議用戶使用二次確認的安全措施,即在修改賬戶時必須提供系統(tǒng)向用戶的手機等移動終端發(fā)送的校驗碼。
A Google spokesman confirmed to The Next Web that many of the passwords in question were likely taken from a website other than Google.
發(fā)言人還確信,多數存在問題的密碼可能都是通過谷歌之外的網址獲取的。
‘The security of our users’ information is a top priority for us,’ the company told The Next Web.
“用戶的信息安全問題是我們的頭等大事。”谷歌公司表示。
‘We have no evidence that our systems have been compromised, but whenever we become aware that accounts may have been, we take steps to help those users secure their accounts.’
“我們還沒有發(fā)現任何系統(tǒng)被盜的證據,但是無論何時發(fā)現了賬號被盜,我們都會采取措施幫助用戶確保賬戶安全?!?/div>
The hacker has not been found.
目前泄密者還未找到。
But hackers from Russia and Eastern Europe have been involved in a number of recent high-profile security lapses.
但是此前來自俄羅斯和東歐的黑客都曾涉嫌泄露大量高度機密文件。
The Gmail leak comes soon after two other major security breaches leaked on the same Bitcoin forum, which targeted Russian email service prodiver and search engine Yandex.
在此次谷歌賬戶信息泄露事件之前,俄羅斯著名的互聯網服務商和Yandex的用戶信息也曾在同一個比特幣網站上被泄露。
Those two breaches affected nearly six million Internet users.
當時泄露的信息涉及到約600萬因特網用戶。
