美國反間諜官員籲小心中資酒店 Wi-Fi 系統!中國能輕易監...

中國監控用家智能手機或相關設備的消息，久不久就會經不同媒介提起。最近，連美國最高反間諜官員，即美國國家反間諜與安全中心主任 William Evanina 就提起「中國政府可以輕而易舉地監視人們智能手機、平板電腦等設備」情況，更稱要特別注意全球中資酒店所提供的 Wi-Fi 系統。

美國國家反間諜與安全中心主任 William Evanina 在美國 CBS 電視節目《60 Minutes》有提，雖然美國如 Verizon、AT＆T 等的互聯網服務供應商是獨立的，當中所有客戶資訊都不受政府監管，但在中國，互聯網服務供應商是則由政府營運，人們在中國旅行，使用當地互聯網服務，又或者入住中資酒店並使用酒店 Wi-Fi 的話，中國政府就可輕易監視人們智能手機、平板電腦等裝置，而其中全球中資酒店所提供的 Wi-Fi 系統，是應要特別提防的。William Evanina 指，例如簡單點擊一個新聞連結，中方就有能力進入你的裝置進行監控，因此他強調，如要到中國的話，是絕不會攜帶有個人或公司資料的電子產品，以免有重要資料被竊取。

針對中方能輕易監視智能手機的事件，美國司法部於上星期宣布，起訴兩名為中國政府服務的中國黑客，控以盜竊商業機密、知識產權等黑客攻擊行動罪名。除此之外，澳洲、加拿大、日本、英國、新西蘭等國都發表聲明，對中國黑客行為予以譴責。但當然，中方則堅決否認政府有參與任何黑客攻擊。

美國國家反間諜與安全中心主任 William Evanina 提示大家小心中資酒店 Wi-Fi 系統。

Waldorf Astoria hotel was case in point.  Owned now by Anbang Insurance of China
US is worried.

The official residence of the United States' Permanent Representative to the United Nations, an unnamed 42nd-floor apartment, has been located in the Waldorf Towers for many years. On June 17, 2015, however, the US Department of State announced that it was moving its headquarters during meetings of the UN General Assembly to The New York Palace Hotel. Although State Department officials did not give an official reason for the change affecting both the President and hundreds of American diplomats and support staff who travel to New York for the General Assembly each September and usually stay and hold meetings on two secured floors at the Waldorf, they pointed to Hilton Worldwide's sale of the Waldorf-Astoria to China's Beijing-based Anbang Insurance Group for $1.95 billion in 2014, a deal that prompted security concerns. While the terms of the sale allow Hilton to run the hotel for the next 100 years, they also call for "a major renovation" that the officials say has raised eyebrows in the US Government because of concerns about Chinese eavesdropping and cyber espionage.[189].
