雅虎承認至少5億用戶數據被竊

Yahoo acknowledged on Thursday that data for at least 500m user accounts was stolen from the company’s network.in late 2014 by what it believes was “a state-sponsored actor.”

雅虎(Yahoo)週四承認，2014年末，至少5億用戶的賬戶數據被據信是“政府支持的”黑客從該公司網絡竊取。

The embattled internet group said the information stolen may have included names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, hashed passwords and, in some cases, encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers.

這家焦頭爛額的互聯網集團表示，被竊取的信息可能包括姓名、電子郵件地址、電話號碼、出生日期和散列密碼，在某些情況下還有加密或者未加密的安全問題和答案。

Yahoo stressed however that payment card data and bank account information has not been compromised. It said:

然而，雅虎強調，支付卡數據和銀行賬戶信息沒有被竊。

Based on the ongoing investigation, Yahoo believes that information associated with at least 500 million user accounts was stolen and the investigation has found no evidence that the state-sponsored actor is currently in Yahoo’s network. Yahoo is working closely with law enforcement on this matter.

根據仍在展開的調查，雅虎相信至少5億用戶的賬戶信息被竊取。調查沒有發現表明上述政府後臺黑客仍隱藏在雅虎網絡內部的證據。雅虎正與執法部門就此問題密切合作。

Having reached a deal to sell its core internet business to Verizon earlier in July, Yahoo shares are now seen to be more of play on the company’s stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, rather a punt on its business fundamentals.

今年7月早些時候，雅虎與Verizon達成協議，將其核心互聯網業務出售給了後者，如今人們投資雅虎股票更多是考慮該公司持有的中國電商巨頭阿里巴巴(Alibaba)的股份，而不是對其業務基本面的押注。
