好萊塢曝"豔照門" 奧斯卡影后詹妮弗•勞倫斯私照泄露

Nude photos of “Hunger Games” star Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Ariana Grande and Kirsten Dunst, among others, leaked online Sunday morning in one of the biggest celebrity hacking scandals in recent memory.

8月31日上午，《飢餓遊戲》女星詹妮弗•勞倫斯，以及凱特•阿普頓，愛莉安娜•格蘭德，克爾斯滕•鄧斯特等諸多好萊塢一線女星因手機遭到黑客攻擊，不雅照外泄，成爲最近規模最大的明星“豔照門”事件。

It is understood some of the images were obtained from services such as Apple iCloud that back up content from devices on to the internet.

據悉，其中一些照片正來自於如蘋果iCloud這樣的備份軟件服務，它們可以將手機中的文件在網上進行備份。

Apple says it is investigating whether iCloud accounts have been hacked.

蘋果公司稱其正在對iCloud賬戶是否遭到黑客攻擊展開調查。

Ms Lawrence has requested an investigation after a hacker apparently obtained photographs, with graphic content, from the mobile phones of numerous celebrities.

諸多明星的手機顯然都已遭到黑客攻擊，並導致照片外泄，詹妮弗•勞倫斯已要求對此進行調查。

A spokeswoman for the actress said the internet posts were “a flagrant violation of privacy”.

她的女發言人稱，在網上曝光這些照片是”公然侵犯個人隱私”。

An FBI spokesman told the Associated Press news agency that it was “aware of the allegations” and was “addressing the matter”.

一名FBI發言人在接受美聯社採訪時則表示，他們已經“得知此事”並開始着手“解決問題”。

Apple spokeswoman Nat Kerris was quoted by Reuters as saying in an email: “We take user privacy very seriously and are actively investigating this report.”

另據路透社報道，蘋果公司女發言人娜特•克里斯在郵件中寫道：”我們一直非常重視用戶的隱私問題，並且正在對此事積極展開調查。”

Experts have raised concerns over the security of “cloud” storage sites.

專家們則開始對 “雲存儲”的安全性產生質疑。

“It is important for celebrities and the general public to remember that images and data no longer just reside on the device that captured it,” said Ken Westin, security analyst at Tripwire.

Tripwire公司安全分析師肯•威斯汀認爲：“明星或者公衆人物一定要記得不要把照片和數據保留在照相設備中。”

“Although many cloud providers may encrypt the data communications between the device and the cloud, it does not mean that the image and data is encrypted when the data is at rest.”

他還說：“儘管許多雲服務提供商也許能對移動設備與雲之間的數據傳輸進行加密，但這並不意味着其中的靜態數據也能被加密。”

“If you can view the image in the cloud service, so can a hacker.”

“如果你能通過雲服務看到這些照片，那麼黑客也可以。”

“Creepy effort”

後果不堪設想

Images of the celebrities were leaked on image posting website 4Chan.

明星們的照片是在圖片網站4Chan上被泄露和發佈的。

The user posting them - who defined him or herself as a “collector” rather than “hacker” - said more images of different celebrities would soon be posted.

發帖用戶並沒有以”黑客”自居，而是自稱”收集者”，他還宣稱很快會曝出更多其他明星的照片。

While some of the celebrities said the images were fake, others have confirmed their authenticity.

雖然部分明星聲稱照片系僞造，但另一些明星則確認了照片的真實性。

Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead posted on Twitter: “To those of you looking at photos I took with my husband years ago in the privacy of our home, hope you feel great about yourselves.”

女星瑪麗•伊麗莎白•溫斯泰德在Twitter上寫道，”這些照片都是我和我丈夫幾年前在家中拍攝的私照，希望那些圍觀的人們還能自我感覺良好。”

“Knowing those photos were deleted long ago, I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this.”

她還說：“雖然那些照片早已被刪除（但還是泄露了出來），其後果真是讓人不寒而慄、難以想象。”

Winstead”s comments would suggest iCloud was not at play, as pictures on Apple’s service are only viewable online for 30 days.

溫斯泰德的話直指iCloud並沒有像它所描述的：蘋果服務器中的照片只有在30天內可以在網上被瀏覽。

Raj Samani from Intel Security said: “Almost every service used online requires a password, and to ensure your passwords are secure, they must be complex.”

來自英特爾殺毒軟件公司Intel Security的拉傑•薩馬尼則說，”任何在線服務都需要密碼，而且爲了確保其安全性，密碼越複雜越好。”

But more often than not, it is human weaknesses that give hackers the simplest route to compromising accounts.

但往往正是人類的弱點讓黑客們有機可乘，得以輕鬆盜取賬戶。

“Phishing” people - meaning to trick them into giving up their password - is considered perhaps the simplest and most targeted way hackers gain access to accounts.

網絡釣魚正是黑客盜取賬戶最簡單也是最常用的手段，他們通過欺騙手段讓用戶們直接”交出”密碼。
