该声明表示,“没有可信证据”可以支持美国政府的结论。它将这些批评归咎于对俄罗斯信息共享相关法律的误读。

卡巴斯基实验室还表示担心“私人公司可能由于地缘政治问题在被证明无辜前都被认定有罪。”该公司补充说,它期待与美国国土安全部合作来处理这些担忧。

The federal directive came hours after the top U.S. intelligence official warned that Russia has increased its cyber operations against the United States. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats told a cybersecurity gathering11 that Russia is “increasing cyber espionage operations and leaking data stolen from those operations.”

这一联邦指令的下达是在美国首席情报官员警告说俄罗斯加紧了对美国网络行动的数个小时之后。美国国家情报总监丹·科茨(Dan Coats)在网络安全会议上通报称,俄罗斯“正在加紧网络间谍行动并泄露从中窃取的信息。”

Coats said enemies of the U.S. can use the internet as a tool to amplify12 and strengthen information by repeating messages many times. He said these efforts “seek to undermine our faith in our institutions or advance violence in the name of identity."

科茨表示,美国的敌人们可以利用互联网作为一种工具,通过多次重复各种信息来放大和强化信息。他说,这些措施“试图破坏我们对宪法的信仰,或是以身份认同的名义推动暴力。”

Top U.S. intelligence agencies said in a report in January Russia took part in an “influence campaign” in the U.S. in an effort to help then-candidate Donald Trump win the 2016 election. Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly denied his government had any involvement in trying to influence the American election.

美国高级情报机构在今年1月份的一份报告中声称,俄罗斯参与了美国的一项“影响力运动”,目的是为了帮助当时的总统候选人川普赢得2016年大选。俄罗斯总统普京一再否认该国政府曾卷入影响美国大选的行动。

As president, Trump has repeatedly questioned the intelligence findings, suggesting at times it was unclear whether Russia was responsible.

作为总统,川普一再质疑这一情报调查结果,时常提出俄罗斯是否应该对此负责尚不清楚。
