你的信息被泄露了吗？（双语）

 

    这张中国身份证看上去和其他的没什么两样：尺寸、标志、个人头像和信息详情都并无不妥。 The Chinese identity card looks just like any other: It is the right size, has the right symbols and carries the person's image and personal details.

    唯一不同寻常的是，这张证件上竟然出现了巴拉克•奥巴马的头像。 The only thing unusual about it is the fact that the card has Barack Obama on it.

    在过去的两周，一张由记者们制作的美国总统的假“身份证”图片在网络上流传甚广。制作这种假证件的软件能很容易从网上下载。 Images of the United States president's faked Chinese ID card, which was produced by journalists using software readily available for free online, have been circulating the Internet for the last two weeks.

    如果记者们希望借此将中国在打击诈骗和身份证盗窃所面临的巨大挑战公诸于世的话，那么他们如愿以偿了。 If the reporters wanted to make a statement about the huge challenge China faces in combating fraud and personal identity theft, it worked.

    诈骗者们可能会伪造身份证件，冒充他人开通银行账户以及信用卡账户。那些受害者们将为此支付天价账单。 By using fake IDs, fraudsters will possibly open bank and credit card accounts in other people's names, leaving victims to pay sky-high bills.

    然而，安全专家们表示中国许多网站并未向其用户提供完善的保护措施；这就意味着在这个网友数量居世界之最的国度中，有4亿多网友会在网站上注册时为这些网络犯罪提供确切的个人信息。 Yet, security experts say that the poor protection offered to customers by many Chinese websites means the country's 400 million-odd netizens - the largest population in the world - actually hand over the exact details these criminals need every time they sign up for a Web service.

   《中国青年报》的一项调查显示，几乎90%的网友在网上输入个人信息之后，会收到广告邮件和垃圾短信，此外还会饱受推销电话的骚扰。 Research carried out by China Youth Daily shows that almost 90 percent of online users receive spam e-mail and text messages, as well as unsolicited sales calls, after entering their data online.
