| An open database in China contains the personal information of more than 1.8 million women, including their phone numbers, addresses, and something called “BreedReady” status, according to a researcher. | 据一名研究人员称，中国的一个开放数据库包含了180多万名女性的个人信息，包括她们的电话号码、地址，以及所谓的“已繁殖”状态。 |
| Victor Gevers, a Dutch internet expert from the non-profit group GDI.Foundation, found the insecure data cache while searching for open databases in China. He posted a series of screenshots of it over the weekend. | 非营利组织GDI Foundation的荷兰互联网专家维克托•盖弗斯(Victor Gevers)在中国搜索开放数据库时发现了这种不安全的数据缓存。他在周末发布了一系列截图。 |
| The database, whose server is in China, included fields labeled in English for sex, age, education, marital status, as well as a column titled “BreedReady”, which could be a poor translation of Chinese terms to describe whether a woman has children or is of child-bearing age, observers noted. It was taken down late on Monday afternoon local time, according to Gevers. | 观察人士指出，该数据库的服务器在中国，包括用英文标注的性别、年龄、教育程度、婚姻状况的字段，以及一个名为“BreedReady”的栏目，这可能是一个描述女性是否有孩子或是否处于生育年龄的中文术语的糟糕翻译。据Gevers说，它在当地时间周一下午晚些时候已被卸载。 |
| The data breach is alarming in the context of official concerns over China’s falling birthrates. Women rights advocates and critics of China’s use of strict family planning rules worry about how far the government will go to encourage more women to have children. | 在官方对中国不断下降的出生率感到担忧的背景下，此次数据泄露令人担忧。女权倡导者和中国严格计划生育政策的批评者担心，在鼓励更多女性生育方面，政府会走多远。 |
| It is not clear whether the database is related to a dating app, a government registry, or another organisation or company. Gevers, who also identified a database maintained by a surveillance company tracking at least 2.5 million residents in Xinjiang, said he was still taking samples and working on verifying the data. | 目前尚不清楚该数据库是否与约会app、政府注册中心或其他组织或公司有关。Gevers还确认了一个由监控公司维护的数据库，该数据库跟踪了至少250万新疆居民。Gevers说，他仍在采集样本，并努力核实数据。 |
| “More than this, we don’t have at the moment. Our primary concern is that it gets secured ASAP,” he told the Guardian. | “不仅如此，我们目前还没有。我们主要关心的是它尽快得到保护,”他告诉《卫报》记者说。 |
| The average age of women in the database was 32, with the youngest being 15, he said. Almost 90% of included entries were described single and 82% were listed as living in Beijing. | 他说，数据库中女性的平均年龄为32岁，最小的15岁。近90%的入选者被描述为单身，82%被列为生活在北京。 |
| The database also included fields labeled “political” and “hasvideo” as well as links to what appear to be Facebook profile pages. Facebook is blocked in China and can only be accessed through virtual private networks. | 该数据库还包括标有“political”和“hasvideo”的字段，以及指向Facebook个人主页的链接。Facebook在中国被屏蔽，只能通过虚拟专用网访问。 |
| The researcher said he and others were contacting some of those whose profile pages were linked to see if they were aware of the database or had registered such information. | 研究人员说，他和其他人正在联系一些个人资料页面被链接的人，看看他们是否知道这个数据库，或者是否已经注册了这样的信息。 |
| In a thread titled “Is this the prologue to The Handmaid’s Tale?” on the discussion forum Douban, Chinese internet users likened the database to the television show based on a future where women are forced to reproduce. | 在豆瓣网上的一个名为“这是《使女的故事》的序幕吗”的帖子中，中国网民把这个数据库比作电视剧，该剧讲述的是未来女性被迫生育的故事。 |
| “This kind of database is very indicative and frightening,” said one user, adding: “I’m a pessimist and the fact that stories like The Handmaid’s Tale exist means the signs are already there.” | 一位用户表示:“这种数据库非常具有指示性，令人恐惧。”“我是一个悲观主义者，《使女的故事》这样的故事的存在，意味着这些迹象已经存在。” |
| Others were less surprised and wondered whether the information could be related to a Chinese dating website Jiayuan, which was hacked by a security researcher aiming to highlight the site’s vulnerabilities in 2015. One user on Douban wrote: “To tell the truth, this kind of data is everywhere.” | 其他人则没有那么惊讶，他们想知道这些信息是否与中国的交友网站世纪佳缘有关。2015年，一名安全研究员为了凸显该网站的漏洞，对该网站进行了黑客攻击。豆瓣上的一位用户写道:“说实话，这种数据无处不在。” |
