美国有线新闻 CNN 5.3亿Facebook用户信息在黑客网站被泄露

A Facebook hack¹ from two years ago is what leads off today's show. Why are we covering this now?

今天的节目首先来关注两年前脸谱网遭黑客攻击的事件。我们为何现在报道这件事？

Because the information from more than 530 million Facebook accounts has just been noticed on a hacker² Website.

因为刚刚有超过5.3亿个脸谱网账户信息被发布在黑客网站上。

By the summer of 2019, more than 2.4 billion people were active on Facebook every month.

截至2019年夏天，脸谱网月活跃用户超过24亿人。

That's the time when the company says it found and fixed³ a flaw in its system that had allowed hackers⁴ to get the personal information of hundreds of millions.

当时该公司表示，共发现并修复了系统中的一个漏洞，该漏洞已令黑客获取了数亿人的个人信息。

Facebook ID's, relationship status', bios, birthdays, all of this could be compromised.

脸谱网账号、感情状况，个人简介、生日，所有这些信息都可能被泄漏。

Cyber security experts say the leaked information probably doesn't include social security numbers or credit card numbers which are most useful to hackers and identity thieves.

网络安全专家表示，泄露的信息可能不包括对黑客和身份窃贼最有用的社会保险号码或信用卡号码。

But analysts⁵ say this is a reminder⁶ that no information that people share with online services can ever be guaranteed to stay private

但分析人士表示，这提醒人们，任何与在线服务共享的信息都不能永远保证私密性，

and that people should only ever share what they would accept appearing in a public database somewhere down the line.

人们应该只分享他们能接受之后会出现在公共数据库中的信息。

As far as sharing personal info goes like your password, credit card and social security numbers,

安全官员表示，至于分享个人信息，比如密码、信用卡号和社会保险号码，

security officials say you should only do that if you have personally started the conversation or transaction

只有当你亲自开始对话或交易时，你才可以这样做，

not if a person or organization randomly⁷ asks you for it.

在有人或组织随机询问信息的情况下则不能分享。
