How to protect yourself from hackers
如何保护自己免受黑客攻击
背景知识:
FileVault: 苹果系统里的一项保密措施。它会自动直接地对主目录的内容进行加密和解密。BitLocker: Windows BitLocker用于加密Windows操作系统卷上存储的所有数据,并帮助确保计算机即使在无人参与、丢失或被盗的情况下也不会被篡改。
WhatsApp: 一款非常受欢迎的跨平台应用程序,用于智能手机之间的通讯。可以即刻接收亲友和同事发送的信息,可免费从发送手机短信转为使用WhatsApp程序,以发送和接收信息、图片、音频文件和视频信息。
iMessage: iMessage是苹果公司推出的即时通信软件,可以发送短信、视频等。不同于运营商短信/彩信业务,用户仅需要通过WiFi或者蜂窝数据网络进行数据支持,就可以完成通信。
Signal: 一款Open Whisper Systems公司开发的应用软件,Signal的优势在于信息加密,用户发送的任何文字、视频和图片都会进行端对端加密。

塞缪尔·伯克:当谈及保护自己免受黑客攻击时,我们大多数人都像在走钢丝,生活在危险的边缘,想着……
“oh I won’t fall”. That’s why it’s so important to protect yourself. Just like you do a safety check before you perform a big stunt, you need to do a security check on your computer to make sure you’re running the latest version of your operating system.
“哦,我不会掉下去”。这就是为什么保护自己是如此重要。就像在大型特技表演之前进行安全检查一样,您需要在计算机上进行安全检查,以确保运行的是最新版本的操作系统。
And you always have to do a backup of your most important files just in case. But if all that security lets you down, encrypt your files with FileVault or BitLocker. And to be solid ground, always run antivirus software.
以防万一,你要常备份你最重要的文件。但如果所有这些安全措施都让你觉得不可靠,那就用FileVault或BitLocker加密你的文件。并且需要始终运行杀毒软件来保证坚固的基础系统。
I’m going to from log to log, but you probably feel like you’re going from login to login, password to password. There are so many opportunities for the hackers to get their hands on those.
我将从一个木板跨到另一个木板(说话人以脚下一个个的木板比喻一次次的登录),但你可能觉得你将接二连三地登录、输入密码。对于黑客来说,他们有很多机会来获得这些信息。
So you should use two-step sign-in. That way, every time you have to enter your password, and you also get a code sent to your phone. So even if the hackers steal your password, they won’t get their hands on your smartphone.
所以你应该使用两步登录。这样,每次你不得不输入密码时,你也会收到一个发送到手机的代码。所以即使黑客窃取了你的密码,他们也不会染指你的智能手机。
And while we’re on the logs, popular messaging apps, like WhatsApp and iMessage— they keep logs of your text messages up in the cloud. And you know that gets hacked every so often.
当我们登录时,流行的即时通讯应用,比如WhatsApp和iMessage,会把你的短信记录在云端。你也明白,云端数据经常被黑客攻击。
But apps like Signal—they don’t save anything in the cloud, making them a much safer place for your text messages to land.
但是像Signal这样的应用程序——它们不会在云中保存任何东西,这使得它们成为你发短信更安全的地方。
To make sure surfing the web is all smooth sailing, check the websites you visit have HTTPS. That “S” means that they have higher-level security.
为了确保网上冲浪的顺利进行,请检查您访问的网站是否有HTTPS。那“S”意味着他们有更高的安全级别。
But if you feeling shaky about logging on to public WiFi, VPN apps like Onavo will make your connection private. And for the safest surfing, the web browser Tor will make it so that somebody can’t know who you are, where you are, or what you’re surfing.
如果你觉得登录公共WiFi不太可靠,Onavo等VPN应用会让你的连接变得私密。为了最安全的冲浪,网络浏览器Tor会让人们不知道你是谁,你在哪里,或者你上网在浏览什么。
Living on the edge doesn’t have to be so dangerous if you use the right protection.
如果你采取了正确的保护措施,生活在危险的边缘也并不一定是危险的。[/hide]
