澳大利亞媒誣稱"中國黑客"網襲氣象局

The Australia Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported a "massive" hack on Wednesday, saying it had been told by "multiple official sources" it almost certainly came from China.

週三，澳大利亞廣播公司報道了遭遇嚴重黑客攻擊事件，稱經過官方證據表明，幾乎肯定網絡攻擊來自中國。

The BoM, which owns one of Australia's largest supercomputers, said it would not comment on security matters. It said on Wednesday its systems were fully operational.

澳大利亞氣象局有澳大利亞最大的巨型計算機，稱他們不會對安全問題做出任何迴應。週三，澳大利亞氣象局表示系統可以正常運行。

Among other services, the BoM provides climate information for commercial airlines and shipping, analyses national water supplies, gathers climate information and works closely with the defence department.

澳大利亞氣象局還會提供其他服務，例如提供給運輸飛機和貨船的天氣信息、本國的供水分析、收集天氣信息及同國防部門的緊密合作。

The ABC report gave no further details on which systems had been affected, whether information was taken, or why China was seen as the likely culprit.

澳大利亞廣播公司並沒有表明是哪個系統受到了襲擊，信息是否泄露，還有爲什麼認爲是中國黑客所爲。

A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Hua Chunying, said late on Wednesday that China "firmly opposes and cracks down on all forms of cyber-attacks" and that "groundless accusations and speculation are not constructive".

中國外交部發言人華春瑩在週三晚間表示，“中國堅決反對並打擊任何形式的網絡攻擊”並表示“沒有證據的指控和猜忌是站不住腳的。”

"We have consistently emphasised that the issue of internet security is a global problem. The parties concerned need to strengthen dialogue and cooperation to jointly solve the problem in a spirit of mutual respect."

“我們一直強調，網絡安全是一個全球問題。雙方應該加強溝通和合作，在互信的基礎上共同解決問題。”

Chinese officials routinely deny cyber espionage and say China is itself a victim of hacking.

中國官方也否認網絡間諜的指控，並表示自己纔是黑客攻擊的對象。
