 Could someone hack your pacemaker? FDA is recalling 465,000 of them due to that risk 是不是会有人要黑进你的心脏起搏器呢？FDA由此，而召回465000个心脏起搏器 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recalling nearly 500,000 pacemakers — the device that controls one’s heartbeat — citing concerns that they are vulnerable to hacking. 美国食品与药物管理局（FDA）正在召回近50万个心脏起搏器-这个控制人们心跳的装置—原因是它非常容易受到黑客攻击。 The FDA issued the recall Tuesday for 465,000 pacemakers created by health company Abbott Laboratories (formerly St. Jude Medical). FDA在周二下令召回465000个心脏起搏器，它们是由Abbott Laboratories这家健康公司（前St.Jude医药公司）制造的。 There are six types of pacemakers, all radio-controlled, affected by the recall, according to The Guardian. 据卫报报道，此次召回涉及六种起搏器，全部是无线电控制。 “The pacemaker devices to which this update applies include the RF telemetry versions of the following devices in the U.S.: Accent SR RF™, Accent MRI™, Assurity™, Assurity MRI™, Accent DR RF™, Anthem RF™, Allure RF™, Allure Quadra RF™, and Quadra Allure MP RF™,” read the St. Jude Medical website. 在St. JudeMedical的网站上可看到“此次更新的心脏起搏器包括在美国的RF的遥测版本的如下产品：Accent SR RF™, Accent MRI™, Assurity™, Assurity MRI™, Accent DR RF™,Anthem RF™, Allure RF™, Allure Quadra RF™, and Quadra Allure MP RF™,” Officials at the FDA are concerned that security loopholes could let hackers gain access to pacemakers, possibly allowing them to change the settings, or turn the devices off altogether, according to Pix11. FDA的官员担心安全漏洞能让黑客侵入起搏器，很可能让他们改变设置，或者把设备关掉。这是来自Pix11的报道。 “As medical devices become increasingly interconnected via the Internet, hospital networks, other medical devices, and smartphones, there is an increased risk of exploitation of cybersecurity vulnerabilities,” the FDA’s recall read. FDA的召回文件显示“由于医疗设备日益增强了透过互联网，医院网络的，其他医疗设备和智能手机的互相连接，增加了其网络安全漏洞可以被利用的这一弱点。” Hacking a pacemaker to change the pace of someone’s heartbeat could, at worst, result in death, according to The Guardian. 据卫报称，黑客攻击心脏起搏器来改变一个人的心跳次数，最坏的结果可以导致死亡。 A healthcare provider can install a firmware update in 3 minutes that should address any cyber security vulnerabilities, according to Engadget. 据Engadget称，一家保健设备商可以三分钟内就安装完成一个固件，以处理任何的网络安全漏洞。 Of the 465,000 affected devices in the United States, there are “no known reports of patient harm related to the cybersecurity vulnerabilities,” the FDA wrote. FDA称这465000个在美国的召回设备，“还没有已知的报告显示病人因网络安全漏洞受到伤害。” A representative from the company that makes the pacemakers said in an email that this is not a recall, but instead just a “firmware update” that can be applied to the pacemakers in question. 一位来自起搏器制造公司的代表在一份电子邮件中称这次不是一次召回，而只是针对相关的心脏起搏器做“固件更新”。 Concerns about the safety of pacemakers are far from new. 对心脏起搏器的安全的担忧由来已久。 MedSec, a cybersecurity firm that researches potential vulnerabilities in medical devices, first discovered the issue with the pacemakers, according to The Guardian. 据卫报报道，MedSec是一家网络安全公司，专门研究医疗设备的潜在弱点，它第一个发现了心脏起搏器的问题。 In 2012, a former hacker named Barnaby Jack proved he could reverse engineer a pacemaker, forcing it to release multiple 830 volt shocks, according to Engadget. A year later, the FDA warned that pacemakers could be connected to networks vulnerable to hacking. 2012年，一名叫Barnaby Jack的前黑客证实他可以对心脏起搏器实行逆向工程，迫使它多次释放830伏的电击。这是Engadget透露的。一年以后，FDA就发出警告说，心脏起搏器能通过网络很容易地受黑客攻击。 重点单词汇总 pacemaker：起搏器; recall：叫回，召回; Food and Drug Administration (FDA)：食品与药物管理局 telemetry：遥感勘测，自动测量记录传导 loophole：n. 漏洞; vulnerability： 弱点，攻击; |
