WHO报告网络攻击增加五倍，敦促加强警戒

世界卫生组织近日报告，自新冠疫情爆发以来，针对WHO员工的网络攻击数量增加了五倍1。本周，约450个WHO活跃电子邮件地址和密码遭到泄露1，同时数千名从事新冠疫情应对工作人员的凭证也被公开1。虽然泄露的凭证未直接危及WHO系统，但影响了一个较旧的外部网络系统1。

与此同时，诈骗分子冒充WHO向公众发送欺骗邮件，试图将捐款转向虚假的"COVID-19团结应对基金"1。WHO首席信息官伯纳多·马里亚诺表示，"确保成员国卫生信息的安全和与我们互动用户的隐私始终是WHO的优先事项"1。为此，WHO正与私营部门合作建立更强大的内部系统并加强安全措施1。

The World Health Organization has disclosed a dramatic surge in cyber threats against the agency since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with attacks now occurring at more than five times the rate recorded a year ago 1. The disclosure comes as approximately 450 active WHO email addresses and passwords were compromised this week, alongside thousands of credentials belonging to personnel involved in the pandemic response effort 1.

While the leaked credentials did not directly compromise WHO's core systems, they affected an older external-facing platform 1. In a separate but related development, fraudsters have been impersonating the WHO to send deceptive emails to the public, attempting to redirect donations away from the legitimate COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund to fake accounts 1. WHO Chief Information Officer Bernardo Mariano stated that "ensuring the security of member state health information and the privacy of users who interact with us remains a priority for WHO" 1. The organization is collaborating with the private sector to develop more robust internal systems and strengthen security protocols against future threats 1.
