Russian hackers were behind $2.5B hack of Jaguar Land Rover: Report

报道：俄罗斯黑客是捷豹路虎 25 亿美元黑客攻击事件的幕后黑手

Last year, hackers attacked car giant Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), one of the U.K.’s biggest employers. The hack halted production for months and made a dent in the country’s economy. The damage was so severe that the U.K. government decided to bail out the company with a £1.5 billion (around $2 billion) payment, and estimates say the hack cost the British economy $2.5 billion.

去年，黑客袭击了英国最大的雇主之一、汽车巨头捷豹路虎（JLR）。此次黑客攻击导致该公司停产数月，并对英国经济造成了冲击。由于损失极其严重，英国政府决定向该公司提供 15 亿英镑（约合 20 亿美元）的救助金，据估计，此次黑客攻击给英国经济造成了 25 亿美元的损失。

For months, there was only speculation about who did it. Now, citing people close to the investigation, The New York Times reports that the hackers behind the breach were Russian, although it’s still unclear if they were working directly for Vladimir Putin’s government, were just criminals, or something in between, like criminals operating with the government’s tacit approval.

数月以来，关于幕后黑手的身份一直众说纷纭。如今，《纽约时报》援引接近调查的消息人士的话报道称，此次入侵事件的幕后黑手是俄罗斯黑客。不过，目前尚不清楚他们是直接受命于弗拉基米尔·普京政府，还是仅仅是普通犯罪分子，亦或是介于两者之间——即在政府默许下行动的犯罪团伙。

Microsoft was tracking the Russian hacking group and alerted JLR to the information about the hacker’s identities, the Times reports. However, sources also said that the FBI, Britain’s National Crime Agency and National Cyber Security Centre, Google’s Mandiant unit, and Palo Alto Networks all worked on the investigation.

据《纽约时报》报道，微软一直在追踪该俄罗斯黑客组织，并向捷豹路虎通报了有关黑客身份的信息。然而，消息人士还表示，美国联邦调查局（FBI）、英国国家犯罪调查局（NCA）、英国国家网络安全中心（NCSC）、谷歌旗下的 Mandiant 以及 Palo Alto Networks 等机构也都参与了此次调查。

In what is a rare, but not an unprecedented occurrence in the world of cybersecurity, it turned out that the Russian hacking group was not the only one that breached some JLR networks. A Jordanian hacker who went by Rey had also broken in, according to the Times.

在网络安全领域，这虽然罕见但并非史无前例：事实证明，入侵捷豹路虎部分网络的并非只有俄罗斯黑客组织。据《纽约时报》报道，一名自称“Rey”的约旦黑客也曾实施过入侵。
