VOA慢速英語：少年用“password”黑了朝鮮網站

Teen Hacks North Korea Website with ‘Password’

少年用“password”黑了朝鮮網站

You know how we are not supposed to use a simple term like “password” when creating a password?

你知道我們不應該將一個簡單的、比如“密碼”這樣的詞語來設置為密碼吧？

Someone forgot to tell North Korea.

有人就忘了把這事告訴朝鮮。

Or they didn’t listen. Because a British teenager gained use of a new North Korean website by entering the password ... “password.”

或者他們沒當回事。因為一個英國少年通過鍵入密碼“password”獲得了朝鮮一個新網站的使用權。

Scotland’s Andrew McKean, 18, hacked a website North Korea calls “Best Korean Social Network.” It looks like a Facebook page, but it is not part of the American-based social network. The real Facebook site serves more than 1 billion people every month.

蘇格蘭18歲的安德魯·麥基恩，黑了朝鮮一個名為“朝鮮最佳社交網”的網站。該網站看起來像是一個臉書頁面，但它并不是該美國社交網絡的一部分。真正的臉書網每月服務超過10億人。

The North Korea site, reports MarketWatch, is seen by about 1,000 households.

這個報道市場觀察的朝鮮網站，服務于約1000個家庭。

McKean said he found out which computer program was used to build the site, according to NYMag.com. Then, he easily hacked the admin account, or the account that controls the site.

麥基恩說通過NYMag.com他找出了用于建設該網站的電腦程序，然后他輕而易舉地黑了該網站的管理員帳戶，也就是控制該網站的賬戶。

“McKean says he had access to user accounts, the ability to censor content, and could have even changed the site name,” said the online magazine.

據(jù)該在線雜志報道，“麥基恩說他獲取了用戶賬戶，可以審查內容，甚至能改網站名。”

But all he left was a simple message that read, “Uh, I didn’t create this site just found the login.”

但是他只留下了一個簡單的信息：“嗯，我沒有創(chuàng)建這個網站，我只是可以登錄。”

The site appears to be taken down.

該網站看似被搞掉了。
