第105课 犯错

　　A:Did you read today's newspaper?

　　A：今天的报纸看了吗？

　　B:Anything interesting?

　　B：有什么搞笑的？

　　A:There's a story about how a UK computer security consultant has snared a hapless computer hracker who made blackmail threats to his company.

　　A：有篇报道，说英国有一电脑黑客企图勒索一家公司，结果被那公司的电脑安全顾问给抓获了。那家伙可真够倒霉的。

　　B:Did he use some advanced technology?

　　B：那电脑顾问用什么先进技术了？

　　A:No. On the contrary, he used a rather simple method一the teleptxxie callback facility.

　　A：没有。恰恰相反，他用的是一种极其简单的方法---电话回叫功能。

　　B:Aha, he used old ways to deal with new tricks.

　　B：啊哈，老办法对付新问题。

　　A:Well, he said the hracker tried to gain access to the company's computer systems and claimed to have damaged information about the company's security. He threatened to release this if he was not paid a cash ransom.

　　A：嗯，他说那家伙企图进入他们公司的计算机系统并宣称他已经破坏了与该公司安全有关的信息。他威胁说如果不给赎金，他就要把这些信息公布出去。

　　B:But the unlucky guy called with a fixed phone,didn't he?

　　B：但这个倒霉的家伙是用一固定电话打的，对吧？

　　A :Yeah. He made the fatal mistake of calling from his own home and forgetting to disable the callback facility. The consultant took his mumber down and passed it on to CCU(Computer Crime Unit) who did a fantastic job.

　　A：正是。他犯了一个致命的错误，从他自己家里打电话，而且忘了启动禁用回叫功能。那顾问记下他的号，通知了计算机犯罪部门。结果打了个漂亮的大胜仗。

　　B:Then he might not be very professional.

　　B：那他可能不是太专业的。

　　A:Guess what? The hracker turned out to be a 12-year-old schoolboy.

　　A：猜都猜不到！这小子是个12岁的学生。

　　B:Wow, he may just do it for fun, I guess.

　　B：哇，我想他可能是出于好玩才这么做的吧。

　　A:You can hardly believe the trnth that he had nevertheless succeeded in crashing e-mail servers causing 2,000,000 worth of damage.

　　A：结果可是太出人意料了。他曾经成功的黑过很多邮件服务器，给人造成200多万的损失。

　　B:What a genius! But was the poor guy sentenced?

　　B：天才！那这个可怜的小家伙给判刑了吗？

　　A:The lad was arrested at school and charged for breaching sections 1 and 3 of the Computer Misuses Act.

　　A：这小孩是在学校里被捕的，指控他违反了计算机滥用法案第1和第3条款。
