NBC晚间新闻 三人涉嫌黑客攻击推特（在线收听）

Tonight authorities have charged three suspects in connection with the unprecedented hack of some of twitter's most famous users. Florida state officials billing 17-year-old Graham Ivan Clark from Tampa as the mastermind, allegedly working with a nineteen-year-old from the U.K known as chaewon and a 22-year-old Floridian called Rolex. I want to say to would-be offenders, break the law and we will find you. All three suspects charged in stealing access to the accounts of former president Barack Obama, former vice president Joe Biden, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Bill Gates, using them to ask people to send bitcoin and promising to double their money, scamming them out of over a hundred thousand dollars.

Twitter says the scam targeted a small number of employees by phone, enabling hackers to access celebrity accounts and direct messages. Clark will be charged as an adult, facing 30 state felonies. Twitter today saying we appreciate the swift actions of law enforcement and will continue to cooperate. Increasingly we rely on platforms like twitter to receive news and other information that is important to our lives. The twitter vip hack undermines public confidence in those information platforms. And with the presidential election less than 100 days away, voters are getting their information on social media. Now more than ever, especially without rallies or in-person campaign stops during this pandemic.

今晚，当局已经起诉了三位嫌疑人，他们涉嫌对一些推特最有名的用户进行前所未有的黑客攻击。佛罗里达州官员将坦帕市17岁的格雷厄姆·伊万·克拉克列为主谋，据称他与一名叫金彩元的来自英国的19岁少年和一名叫劳力士的22岁的佛罗里达人是同伙。我想对那些想触犯法律的人说，如果你触犯了法律，我们就会找到你。这三名嫌疑人都被指控窃取了前总统奥巴马，前副总统拜登，杰夫·贝索斯，伊隆·马斯克和比尔·盖茨的账户，使用它们让人们发送比特币，并承诺让他们的钱翻倍，骗了他们十万多美元。推特表示，该骗局通过电话锁定了一小部分员工，使黑客能够访问名人账户和私聊信息。克拉克将以成年人的身份被起诉，面临30项州重罪。推特今天表示，我们感谢执法部门的迅速行动，并将继续合作。我们越来越多地依赖像推特这样的平台来获取新闻和其他对我们生活很重要的信息。推特重要人物黑客事件削弱了公众对这些信息平台的信心。距离总统大选还有不到100天的时间，选民们正在社交媒体上获得了他们的信息。现在比以往任何时候都要多，尤其是在疫情期间没有集会或竞选活动的情况下。
