德國(guó)政府要求家長(zhǎng)“毀掉”孩子的智能手表

就在中國(guó)父母?jìng)冞€在為孩子選擇哪種智能手表而糾結(jié)時(shí)，德國(guó)政府已經(jīng)全面封殺兒童智能手表，并要求國(guó)人毀掉已有的智能手表。在德國(guó)聯(lián)邦網(wǎng)絡(luò)局看來(lái)，兒童智能手表和智能娃娃都是“間諜設(shè)備”。

The German government isn't just banning some children's smartwatches — it’s telling people to "destroy" the gadgets already circulating around the country.

德國(guó)政府不只是禁止使用部分品牌的兒童智能手表，而是讓人們“毀掉”全國(guó)范圍內(nèi)已經(jīng)進(jìn)入流通領(lǐng)域的智能手表。

On Friday, Germany's telecom regulator the Federal Network Agency announced that a number of these devices, designed for ages 5 to 12, can allow someone to remotely tap into the watch's microphone and clandestinely spy from remote locations (just like a wiretap). The regulator isn't just concerned about the potential of people spying on children — it's concerned the devices can be used to spy on anyone.

上周五，德國(guó)的電信業(yè)管理部門聯(lián)邦網(wǎng)絡(luò)局宣布，面向5歲到12歲兒童的數(shù)款智能手表能讓他人通過(guò)遠(yuǎn)程利用手表傳聲器實(shí)現(xiàn)從遠(yuǎn)處暗中監(jiān)聽(tīng)(就像竊聽(tīng)一樣)。聯(lián)邦網(wǎng)絡(luò)局不僅擔(dān)心他人可能利用智能手表監(jiān)聽(tīng)小孩，它還擔(dān)心這種手表可能被用來(lái)監(jiān)聽(tīng)任何人。

利用智能手表進(jìn)行監(jiān)聽(tīng)的不只有父母，還有可能是一些心存歹念的人。由于缺乏加密技術(shù)，黑客可以輕而易舉地攻擊智能手表，輕松追蹤到一個(gè)孩子。也就是說(shuō)，黑客可以通過(guò)攻擊手表后獲知兒童的地理位置、向父母發(fā)送錯(cuò)誤的地理信息。黑客可以在家長(zhǎng)不知情的情況下入侵兒童手表，入侵手表后可導(dǎo)致兒童被黑客實(shí)時(shí)監(jiān)控，并可以獲取兒童的日常行動(dòng)軌跡及周邊的實(shí)時(shí)環(huán)境聲音，還可以竊取手表里面的一些數(shù)據(jù)，包括家長(zhǎng)的手機(jī)號(hào)碼、身份信息，也可能聽(tīng)到家長(zhǎng)與孩子的通話及家庭隱私信息等。

And in Germany, it's illegal to record private conversations without permission.

在德國(guó)，不經(jīng)允許對(duì)私人會(huì)話進(jìn)行錄音是非法的。

"According to our investigations, parents were using the watches, for example, to listen in on teachers during class," said Federal Network Agency President Jochen Homann in a statement.

聯(lián)邦網(wǎng)絡(luò)局局長(zhǎng)約亨•霍曼恩在一則聲明中說(shuō)：“根據(jù)我們的調(diào)查，有的父母會(huì)用智能手表來(lái)監(jiān)聽(tīng)老師上課。”

Smartwatches that make phone calls, like the Apple Watch, are legal in Germany. The problem with many of the children's smartwatches, however, is that the devices have a classic snooping function, similar to a baby monitor, which can be easily activated just by using an app.

和蘋(píng)果手表一樣，能打電話的智能手表在德國(guó)是合法的。問(wèn)題在于很多兒童的智能手表都有經(jīng)典的監(jiān)聽(tīng)功能，這種功能和嬰兒監(jiān)視器類似，只要使用APP就可以很容易激活。

"Via an app, parents can use such children's watches to listen unnoticed to the child's environment and they are to be regarded as an unauthorized transmitting system," said Homann.

霍曼恩表示：“通過(guò)APP，家長(zhǎng)可以用孩子的手表在孩子周圍人群沒(méi)有察覺(jué)的情況下進(jìn)行監(jiān)聽(tīng)，如果是這樣，手表將被視為未經(jīng)授權(quán)的傳輸系統(tǒng)。”

The German regulator is so serious about destroying these devices, it's asking citizens to literally document the watches' destruction and to file evidence online. Once the watches are destroyed, the regulator will provide a "certificate of destruction," confirming the deed was done.

德國(guó)聯(lián)邦網(wǎng)絡(luò)局對(duì)于毀掉這種智能手表高度重視，公民必須提供損毀智能手表的憑證，并在網(wǎng)上提交證據(jù)。一旦智能手表被毀，聯(lián)邦網(wǎng)絡(luò)局會(huì)提供一份“毀壞證明”來(lái)證實(shí)該行為已經(jīng)完成。

除了智能手表，智能娃娃、可穿戴設(shè)備等高科技產(chǎn)品也可能成為隱藏在身邊的“間諜”。

This isn't the first time the Federal Network Agency told German citizens to destroy a consumer device. In February, the regulator prohibited the doll "My Friend Cayla" and labeled it as an "espionage device." Apparently, the dolls were fitted with radio transmission technology that could allow children to be spied on.

這不是德國(guó)聯(lián)邦網(wǎng)絡(luò)局第一次讓德國(guó)公民毀掉一種消費(fèi)設(shè)備。今年二月份，聯(lián)邦網(wǎng)絡(luò)局禁止使用玩具娃娃“我的朋友凱拉”并將其標(biāo)記為“間諜設(shè)備”。顯然，這個(gè)智能娃娃配備的無(wú)線傳輸技術(shù)會(huì)讓孩子成為監(jiān)視對(duì)象。

Beware consumer tech manufacturers: The German government won't just ban devices that facilitate spying, they'll demand the devices be smashed with hammer (or whatever means of destruction one prefers) — even if they're dolls.

所以，高科技產(chǎn)品的生產(chǎn)商要注意了：德國(guó)政府不僅會(huì)禁用那些給監(jiān)視監(jiān)聽(tīng)打開(kāi)方便之門的設(shè)備，他們還會(huì)要求人們用錘子(或隨便其他什么破壞工具)砸爛這些設(shè)備——就算是玩具娃娃也不會(huì)放過(guò)。
