The main Twitter account of news outlet Thomson Reuters was taken over Monday, apparently by the Syrian Electronic Army group that has hacked other news organizations.

新闻机构汤森路透(Thomson Reuters)的主要推特(Twitter)账户周一似乎被“叙利亚电子军”(Syrian Electronic Army)劫持，后者曾对其他新闻机构发起黑客攻击。

“Earlier today @thomsonreuters was hacked,” a spokesman for the news organization said in an email late Monday. “In this time, unauthorized individuals have posted fabricated tweets of which Thomson Reuters is not the source. The account has been suspended and is currently under investigation.”

汤森路透发言人周一晚间在一封电子邮件中说，今天早些时候@thomsonreuters遭到黑客攻击，在此期间，未经授权的人员发布了伪造的推特信息，汤森路透并非这些信息的来源。该账户已经停用，目前正在进行调查。

The Thomson Reuters Twitter account as of late Monday Eastern Time was marked as “suspended.” The website BuzzFeed posted images of tweets from the Thomson Reuters Twitter feed before the account was suspended. (Note: Some of the cartoon images depict violent acts.)

截至美国东部时间周一夜间，汤森路透的推特账户仍被标为“停用”。新闻聚合网站BuzzFeed发布了汤森路透推特账户停用之前的推特信息截图。（注意：部分卡通图像表现了暴力活动场景。）

Thomson Reuters declined to say how its Twitter account was compromised. The spokesman also declined to say whether its Twitter account enabled “two-factor authentication,” an extra layer of protection Twitter began offering in May to ensure that a person who enters a password is the authorized user.

汤森路透拒绝透露其推特账户如何受到攻击。其发言人也拒绝说明其推特账户是否采用了“双重身份认证”，这是推特从今年5月开始推出的额外保护，目的是确保输入密码的人是获得授权的用户。

The unauthorized Thomson Reuters tweets said they originated from the Syrian Electronic Army, which often posts messages supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The group previously was responsible for Twitter takeovers of accounts belonging to Thomson Reuters, as well as those of the Financial Times, NPR, and CBS News.

汤森路透推特账户上未经授权的信息说，它们来自叙利亚电子军，后者经常发布支持叙利亚总统阿萨德(Bashar al-Assad)的信息。该组织此前曾劫持汤森路透名下的推特账户以及《金融时报》(Financial Times)、全国公共广播电台(NPR)和哥伦比亚广播公司(CBS News)的推特账户。

In April, Twitter accounts of the Associated Press posted false information about explosions at the White House. The tweet sparked a stock-market selloff for a few minutes, before government officials and other Twitter users said the information was incorrect. That Twitter attack also was linked to the SEA.

今年4月，美联社(Associated Press)的推特账户发布了有关白宫发生爆炸的虚假信息。这些信息引发股市出现几分钟的抛售，随后政府官员和其他推特用户说该信息不实。那次推特攻击也与叙利亚电子军有关。
