哈佛大学网站遭黑客攻击：叙利亚政权支持者留言
Harvard University's homepage was hacked on Monday morning, and visitors to the site were greeted with the garbled message "SyRiAn ELeCTronic ArMy WeRe HeRE," reports BBC News. The statement was accompanied by a photograph of Bashar al-Assad, Syria's president, as well as an anti-American screed.
BBC新闻报道，哈佛大学主页在星期一早上遭黑客攻击，访问者一进页面就有“叙利亚电子军队来过这”的乱码。乱码还伴随有叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德的照片同时还有一篇冗长的反美的文章。
"Do you support the war on Syria?" the message read in part, according to the BBC. "If you are you, as well as the following Syria's population of 23 million people. This means 23 million mobile bomb. Imagine what we could do."
“你支持对叙利亚的战争吗？”根据BBC的报道，信息的部分内容是这样的，“如果你是你，叙利亚的2300万的人民同样也是他们自己。这就意味着有2300万移动的炸弹。想象下我们可以做什么。”
A Harvard spokesman said:
哈佛的发言人说：
"The university's homepage was compromised by an outside party this morning. We took down the site for several hours in order to restore it. The attack appears to have been the work of a sophisticated individual or group."
“学校主页今天早晨被外来政党黑掉了。我们花了好几个小时来修复网站。这次的攻击似乎是一个老练的个体或者团体做的。”
Those looking for the culprits will likely eye the Syrian Electronic Army, a prolific hacking group that NPR reports "appears to be part of a coordinated campaign by the embattled government" of Syria, which has been rocked by violence during the Arab Spring as the Assad regime cracks down on anti-government protestors. Since its inception, the hacking group has gained steam at a rapid clip, and The Atlantic reports that "they've led by far the most sophisticated and highly visible online pro-regime effort of the 2011 Arab uprisings."
寻找嫌疑人的人可能会着眼于叙利亚电子军队，一个美国国家公共广播电台报道称是叙利亚“严以待阵的政府的协调活动一部分”的有能力的黑客组织，在“阿拉伯之春”革命时它因为阿萨德政权镇压反政府抗议者而受到暴力打击。自它成立，很快蒸蒸日上，《大西洋》杂志报道说“它们是迄今为止2011阿拉伯起义中最老练，高度可见的在线亲政权努力的成果。”
The pro-Assad group, which began operations in April, has hacked into celebrity, government, and university websites in order to to spread its counter-revolutionary message. It is competing against a large number of anti-Assad hackers, who have inflitrated Syria's government websites in recent months. Al Jazeera reports that Syria's newest battle "is taking place not on the streets, but in the homes of online activists determined to silence the opposing side."
于四月开始运营的亲阿萨德组织，为了传播其反政府的信息，已经黑过名人，政府和大学的网站。它与大量反阿萨德的黑客竞争，这些黑客最近几个月刚潜入叙利亚政府网站。半岛电视台报道称叙利亚最新的战役“就是不仅要占领街道，还要占领那些在线活动者的领地，决心要使反对的声音消失。”
The Syrian Electronic Army reportedly has been aided by Iran, which encouraged Syria to counteract its enemies' online activities instead of closing off the country to information altogether. The group is also notable, according to The Atlantic, for its widespread reach -- it doesn't mind attacking non-Syrian targets -- and for the fact that it "appears to consist of a number of normal civilians, rather than merely professional hackers or robots made to mimic real people." It remains unclear how closely these civilians are linked to the Assad regime, though the president may have referenced them in a June speech.
据说叙利亚电子军队已经得到伊朗的援助，其鼓励叙利亚抵抗其敌人的在线活动，而不是封锁国家消息。该组织同样也很有名，通过《大西洋》杂志得知，其影响力广泛，它并不介意攻击非叙利亚的目标，并且事实是它“似乎是由普通平民组成的，而不仅仅是专业黑客或机器人模仿的真实的人。”目前还不清楚这些平民与阿萨德政权联系有多紧密，尽管总统可能会在六月的演讲中会提到他们。
