臉書5000萬賬戶遭到黑客攻擊

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and two of his top execs were among the 50 million users of the social media site whose accounts have been hacked.

近日，臉書5000萬用戶的賬戶遭到攻擊，而該社交網站的創(chuàng)始人馬克·扎克伯格和他的兩名高管也身在其中。

"This is a really serious security issue, and we're taking it seriously," Zuckerberg said. "We need to be more proactive."

扎克伯格表示：“這的確是一起極其嚴重的安全事件，我們要認真對待。我們應當更加具有前瞻性。”

The social-media giant determined that hackers had "exploited a vulnerability in Facebook's code" that allowed them to take over users' accounts, it said in a blog post.

該社交媒體巨頭在一篇博客帖子中寫道，他們認為黑客是利用了臉書代碼中的某一漏洞，使得他們可以接管用戶的賬戶。

Other hacking victims include Facebook's chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, and its European vice-president, Nicola Mendelsohn.

其他遭受黑客攻擊的人還包括臉書網的首席運營官謝麗爾·桑德伯格和歐洲地區(qū)副總裁尼古拉·門德爾松。

Hours after the hack was revealed, a class action suit was filed against Facebook by users Carla Echavarria of California and Derrick Walker of Virginia.

在黑客攻擊事件曝光數(shù)小時后，加州用戶卡拉·埃查瓦里亞和弗吉尼亞州用戶德里克·沃克對臉書提起了集體訴訟。

Some speculated it could turn out to be the biggest such suit ever filed.

一些人猜測，這可能是有史以來規(guī)模最大的此類訴訟。
