Vodafone says hackers broke into nearly 2,000 customer accounts this week

vodafone声称本周黑客入侵近2,000个客户账号

Pigeons fly past Vodafone branding outside a retail store in London November 12, 2013.

2013年11月12日,鸽子们飞过伦敦一家vodafone零售店外的广告牌。

Vodafone UK (VOD.L) said on Saturday hackers had accessed the accounts of 1,827 of its customers this week, the second cyber attack on a British telecoms company this month.

vodafone在周六宣布,黑客于本周入侵了其公司的1,827个客户账户,而这是本月第二起黑客袭击英国电信公司事件。

The attackers had potentially gained access to the victims' bank sort codes and the last four numbers of their bank accounts, along with their names and mobile telephone numbers, a Vodafone spokesman said.

黑客很可能已经获取了受害者的银行排列密码、银行账户的后四位数、姓名和手机号码,一位vodafone的发言人如是说。

"This incident was driven by criminals using email addresses and passwords acquired from an unknown source external to Vodafone," he added in a statement.

“此次事件是由于犯罪嫌疑人利用vodafone之外的未知消息来源所获取的邮箱地址及验证码导致的。”他在声明中补充。

Only a handful of those affected in the Thursday morning attack had seen any attempts to use their data for fraudulent activity on their Vodafone accounts.

在周四早晨的攻击事件中,只有少数账户被发现尝试用vodafone账户数据从事欺诈行为。

"No credit or debit card numbers or details were obtained. However, this information does leave these 1,827 customers open to fraud and might also leave them open to phishing attempts," the spokesman said.

“没有信用卡、借贷卡号码或其他细节被获取。但这些信息使得这1,827用户暴露在被欺诈风险中,并有可能是他们成为网络钓鱼活动的对象。”这位发言人说道。

The company was contacting all those involved and that other customers need not be concerned, he said.

他表示,公司正在与那1,827位顾客联系,而其他客户并不用担心。 

Last week broadband, TV, mobile and fixed-line service provider TalkTalk (TALK.L) said it had been hacked, potentially putting the private details of its 4 million customers into the hands of criminals.

上周,宽带电视移动和固定通信服务运营商Talktalk也被黑客袭击,可能导致其400万用户的私人信息落入不法分子手中。

Less than 21,000 unique bank account numbers and sort codes had been accessed.

不足21,000个独立银行账户及其排列密码已被获取。

Two teenagers have been arrested in connection with that attack. 

两名青少年因涉嫌与此次事件关联已被逮捕。
