安倍晉三官方網站遭黑客攻擊
A hacking group said on Thursday it has crashed Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's official website to protest Japan's plans to hunt whales.
一黑客組織稱週四已攻陷日本首相安倍晉三的官方網站，以此抗議日本的捕鯨計劃。
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters that one of Abe's websites became inaccessible early on Thursday and police were investigating. The site was restored by the evening.
日本內閣官房長官菅義偉向記者透露，安倍的一個官方網站在週四早上已無法登陸，警方正在開展調查。該網站到了晚上才恢復正常。
Suga acknowledged that the Anonymous hacker group has posted a Twitter message claiming responsibility, but added authorities had not singled out the group as a prime suspect.
菅義偉承認“匿名者”黑客組織在推特上發佈消息稱對此事負責，但他補充道目前尚不清楚此次攻擊是否來自該黑客組織。
One of the group's Twitter messages posted earlier on Thursday criticized Japan over its whaling plans, and warned that Abe's website would be brought down.
“匿名者”黑客組織成員在週四早些時候就曾發推文批評日本捕鯨計劃，並警告安倍晉三的網站將被攻擊。
"@AbeShinzo whaling is not cultural right! Your website is #TangoDown!" the message said. The group has also retweeted anti-whaling messages and one urging Abe not to eat whale meat.
原文是：“@安倍晉三捕鯨不是文化權利！你的網站已被＃擊倒！”該組織還轉發了多條抗議捕鯨活動的推文，其中一條敦促安倍勿食鯨肉。
The incident on Abe's site is the latest in a series of recent attacks on Japanese websites. The group has said they were responsible for dozens of earlier attacks.
日本多家網站近期相繼遭黑客攻擊，“匿名者”已經認領其中數十起。而對安倍網站的攻擊是最新一起。
The group most likely chose Abe's site "to get public attention and spread their message against dolphin and whale hunts, rather than causing a real damage," said Nobuhiro Tsuji, a cybersecurity expert at Softbank Technology Corp. "They think bringing down the prime minister's website could cause an impact."
日本軟銀科技公司的網絡安全專家辻敦宏說，該組織選安倍的網站進行攻擊“是想吸引公衆注意並散播反對日本捕殺海豚和鯨魚的信息，而不是想真的損害安倍的網站。他們覺得攻擊日本首相的網站能造聲勢。”
Japan, despite protests from anti-whaling groups, last week resumed its annual Antarctic whale hunt, which it says is done for research, under a revised plan after the International Court of Justice found its earlier program unscientific.
日本不顧反捕鯨組織的抗議，在上週恢復其所謂爲“科研”目的而進行的年度南極捕鯨活動，該計劃先前已經被聯合國海牙國際法院叫停，因其捕鯨活動並非出於“科研目的”。
