美國加州立法禁用“123456”等密碼 因太容易被黑客攻擊（雙語）

Default passwords such as "admin" and "password" will be illegal for electronics firms to use in California from 2020.

自2020年起，電子公司使用諸如“admin”和“password”的默認密碼在加州將是非法行為。

The state has passed a law that sets higher security standards for net-connected devices made or sold in the region.

加州新建了一條法規(guī)以期對當地銷售的網絡連接產品設立更高的安全標準。

It demands that each gadget be given a unique password when it is made.

該法律要求每個設備在其制造時就需設置一個獨一無二的密碼。

Before now, easy-to-guess passwords have helped some cyber-attacks spread more quickly and cause more harm.

此前，容易破密的密碼使網絡攻擊傳播加速，傷害程度變大。

The Information Privacy: Connected Devices bill demands that electronics manufacturers equip their products with "reasonable" security features.

《信息隱私: 聯網設備法律》要求電子設備制造商需給其產品配備“合理的”安全功能。

This can mean a unique password or a start-up procedure that forces users to generate their own code when using the gadget for the first time.

這意味著，當用戶初次使用設備時，將有獨一無二的密碼或啟動程序使得用戶必須制定好自己的密碼。

The bill also allows customers who suffer harm when a company ignores the law to sue for damages.

當公司違反該新建法律時，受害消費者可以對其進行起訴要求賠償。

Writing on tech news site the Register Kieren McCarthy said the law was "a step forward" but also a "massive missed opportunity".

在科技新聞網站Register Kieren McCarthy上發(fā)表的文章稱該法律是“向前邁進了一步”，但仍存在“大量造成損失的可能”。

A bigger problem than poor passwords was the creation of devices that could not be updated, he said.

易破解密碼更大的問題是設備的無法更新。

California should have added clauses that required manufacturers to take a more rounded approach, he said, to limit how much access malicious hackers can get to all kinds of devices.

他說，加州應該增加一些條款，要求制造商采取更全面的方式，限制惡意黑客對各種設備的訪問。

Many recent cyber-attacks have taken advantage of the default and easy-to-guess passwords on the devices found in millions of homes and offices.

許多最近的網絡攻擊是利用數以百萬計的家庭和辦公室設備的默認密碼和簡單易猜的密碼達到其目的。

In late 2016, Twitter, Spotify, and Reddit were among sites taken offline by an attack that took advantage of poor passwords on lots of net-connected gadgets including webcams and other so-called smart home hardware.

此次攻擊就是利用包括webcams和其他被稱為智能家電的聯網設備上的眾多弱密碼而發(fā)起的。

An attack by malware known as VPNFilter is currently targeting home routers and is believed to have infected more than 500,000 devices.

由一種叫VPNFilter的惡意軟件發(fā)起的攻擊，它目前針對家用路由器，據說已經感染了50多萬臺設備。
