Well, it seems like every few days we're hearing about another major corporation getting hacked, 我們好像每隔幾天就會聽到又一家大型企業遭到入侵的消息，
millions of bits of personal information then cast across cyberspace for everyone to see and potentially steal. 千百萬筆的個人資料因此四處流散在網路空間裡，任何人都可看到，甚至也可能竊取。
Well, that is disturbing enough, but as John Vause reports, it may actually be getting worse. 這種現象已經夠令人惶恐不安了，但約翰‧沃斯帶來的報導指出，實際上的情況可能愈來愈糟。
It's an ideal criminal platform for Internet attacks. Botnets are cheap to build and anonymous. 對於網路攻擊行為而言，這是個理想的犯罪平台。殭屍網路的建構成本低廉，而且又可隱姓埋名。
They quietly steal bank logins, passwords and credit card numbers. 殭屍網路可悄悄竊取銀行登入資料、密碼與信用卡號碼。
There's estimated trillions of dollars stolen through botnets every year, so it's a very, very serious syndicate, or sort of cartel, if you will. 根據估計，每年有好幾兆美元經由殭屍網路遭竊，所以這是個非常龐大的犯罪集團，或者你可以說它是企業聯盟。
It's one of the few things out there that actually has more money flowing through it than the drug trade. So, it's a monstrous industry. 這是少數金錢流量高於毒品交易的犯罪活動之一。所以，這是個大得嚇人的產業。
Botnets are networks of compromised computers infected with so-called cyberworms 殭屍網路是由一群遭到所謂的電腦蠕蟲感染的電腦構成的網絡，
that give criminals remote command of the machines they infect without the owners knowing. 讓罪犯可在電腦主人不知情的狀況下遠端控制這些遭感染的電腦。
Karim Hijazi's botnet-tracking firm, Unveillance, recently found the largest documented botnet, 卡利姆‧赫加吉的殭屍網路追蹤公司 Unveillance 近來發現了有紀錄規模最大的殭屍網路，
with tens of millions of computers infected in more than 170 countries. 共有上千萬部電腦遭到感染，分布地區高達一百七十多個國家。
It's called Metulji, Slovenian for "butterfly." 這個殭屍網路叫做「梅杜吉」，在斯洛維尼亞語中意為「蝴蝶」。
Slovenia seems to be the birthplace of a lot of this. 斯洛維尼亞似乎是許多殭屍網路的誕生地。
Two cyber-gang members have been arrested in Slovenia and Bosnia, but security firms and international law enforcement agencies believe more are responsible. 兩名網路幫派分子已在斯洛維尼亞與波士尼亞遭到逮捕，但保全公司與國際執法機構認為還有更多人涉案。
Among the stealthily organized cyber criminals is a different breed of hackers. 這些秘密組織的網路罪犯是一群不同類型的駭客。
They use botnets plus social media as weapons. They claim corrupt governments and corporations are their targets. 他們把殭屍網路與社群媒體當成武器，聲稱腐敗的政府與企業是他們的目標。
We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. 我們是「匿名」集團，我們勢力龐大，我們不會饒恕。
They're mostly young anarchists. It seems as though they're mostly in large European cities or large American cities. 他們大部分都是年輕的無政府主義者，看來似乎主要都分布在歐洲或美國的大城市裡。
They call themselves Anonymous. This question mark face and the Guy Fawkes mask are their signatures. 他們自稱為「匿名」集團。這個問號臉龐與V怪客面具就是他們的代表標誌。
They send anti-government messages on YouTube and Twitter and have targeted major sites like Google, Sony and the CIA. 他們在YouTube和推特上發送反政府訊息，攻擊對象鎖定大型網站，例如谷歌、索尼和中情局。
This group is basically about, you know, "fight the power," "fight the Man," "let's take down the CIA." 這個組織基本上的訴求就是「對抗強權」、「對抗大魔頭」、「打倒中情局」。
This Friday, they went after the U.S. state of Arizona's law enforcement for the third time, releasing 1,200 officer's user names, passwords and e-mail addresses. 本週五，他們第三度攻擊美國亞利桑那州的執法單位，公布了一千兩百名警官的使用者名稱、密碼與電子郵件位址。
Karim Hijazi's company has also been a target. 卡利姆‧赫加吉的公司也是目標之一。
It doesn't make much sense to attack a start-up after you've just hit Sony, 你如果剛攻擊過索尼，再來攻擊一家新創公司實在不太合理，
so we obviously had something of value they wanted, and clearly it was the botnet information that we had. 所以我們顯然握有某種他們想要的有價值的東西，顯然就是我們掌握的殭屍網路資訊。
Hijazi says botnets are a very important weapon for hackers and that Anonymous has started a hacking school to teach others. 赫加吉表示，殭屍網路對於駭客而言是很重要的武器，還說「匿名」集團已成立了一所駭客學校教導其他人。
One of the first things they sort of announced within this hacking school is they're passing out kits or software that can help people facilitate a botnet. 他們在這所駭客學校裡宣布的首要事項之一，就是他們要發送套件或軟體，讓人更容易建構殭屍網路。
It's only a matter of time until someone utilizes a botnet to attack critical infrastructure, and then we're really gonna see something that hits home. 有人利用殭屍網路攻擊重要基礎設施只是遲早的問題而已，屆時我們就會見到擊中要害的損害了。
You know, the minute they attack something like a power grid or a water treatment facility and take down something in that vein, people are gonna feel it in the general public, and I think that's what's gonna be the bigger scare. 他們一旦攻擊電力網或水處理場，並且破壞了這類設施中的東西，大眾就會感覺得到，而我認為那才是更可怕的事情。
The power is the unknown for professional hackers out to make money and hacktivists with or without an agenda. 對於那些想要撈錢的職業駭客，以及不論有沒有特定目標的思想駭客而言，未知就是他們的力量。
