Beautifulpeople.com was originally hacked in December, when the breach appeared to be confined to a database of test accounts. However, the data of real users is now being traded online, security expert Troy Hunt told Forbes. 安全专家特罗伊 亨特对《福布斯》说,最初,Beautifulpeople.com网站在12月遭到了黑客袭击,但似乎只是侵入了测试账户的数据库。而现在真实用户的数据被放到网上售卖。
Dozens of different details are reportedly included in the leak, among them education, phone numbers and location data. 据报道,泄露的信息中包含各种各样的细节,比如教育信息、电话号码、地理位置等等。
More damaging, however, can simply be the existence of a profile on a dating website, especially for those who may not want their existence made public. Mr Hunt said that the email addresses in the leak included 170 ending in “.gov”, meaning US government employees used their work email addresses to sign up. 然而,更具破坏性的是会员在交友网站建档这一事实本身,特别是那些不想让别人知道自己在交友网站的人。亨特先生说泄露的邮箱地址中有170个以“.gov”结尾,说明有美国公务员用自己的工作邮箱地址注册了相亲网站。
There are also 170 .gov email addresses in the Beautiful People breach. I keep seeing a heap of gov stuff where it probably shouldn't be... — Troy Hunt (@troyhunt) April 25, 2016 在魅力人士网站的入侵资料中还有170个以.gov结尾的邮箱地址。我总是看见一堆堆政府人员的信息,或许这些信息不应该出现在这种地方…… ——特罗伊 亨特(@troyhunt)2016年4月25日
Ashley Madison, a dating website exclusively for married people looking for affairs, was hacked last year, embarrassing thousands. 去年,专门为已婚人士寻找婚外情的交友网站“阿什利 麦迪逊”遭黑客攻击,数千名用户陷入尴尬境地。
Beautifulpeople.com reiterated a statement from December about the hack being limited to a test server but has not commented on claims the leak was wider than that. Beautifulpeople.com网站重申去年12月的那个声明,称黑客只是攻击了测试服务器,但对于此次更大范围的信息泄露,他们尚未作出回应。
