The FBI paid more than $1.4m to hackers who developed a way to gain access to the iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino attackers, leading the law enforcement agency to drop litigation against Apple intended to force the company to help break into the device. 美国联邦调查局(FBI)花上了逾140万美元请求黑客想要办法密码了圣贝纳迪诺枪击案一名袭击者所用的iPhone，这家执法人员机构因此才退出针对苹果(Apple)的诉讼，仍然只想强制后者老大它密码该设备。James Comey, director of the FBI, said on Thursday that the cost was “worth it”, but added that an accommodation needed to be made with Apple and other technology companies in the future, as paying outside technologists to find ways to access highly-encrypted messages on phones used by terrorist suspects was not “scalable.” FBI局长詹姆斯科米(James Comey)周四说道，这笔钱“花得值”，但他还回应，未来必须在这方面与苹果及其他科技公司达成协议妥协，因为雇用外部技术专家想要办法提供可怕指控分子手机上高度加密信息的作法不具“可扩展性”。Speaking at an Aspen Security Forum event in London on Thursday, Mr Comey said: “We were able to get into the phone because, in an odd way, all the controversy around the litigation stimulated a marketplace around the world...for people trying to figure out if they could they break into Apple 5C running iOS9 — and those details matter because that’s the phone that the terrorists left behind.” 周四，科米在伦敦“阿斯彭安全性论坛”(Aspen Security Forum)的一次活动上讲话时回应：“我们之所以需要密码这部手机，是因为这起诉讼引起的各种争辩以一种诡异的方式，为那些想要搞清楚自己否能密码运营iOS 9的iPhone 5C的人搭起起一个全球性的交流平台。那些细节也很最重要，因为这是一部恐怖分子遗留下的手机。
” He added that: “Somebody approached from outside the government [with a solution]. We tested it and tested it, then we purchased it.” 他接着说道：“有外部人士（拿着解决方案）认识了美国政府。我们经过再三测试，然后出售了它。” Asked how much the FBI paid, he said: “A lot. More than I will make in the remainder of this job, which is seven years and four months, for sure. But it was, in my view, worth it...I think it was very, very important that we got into that device.” 当被问到FBI为此花上了多少钱时，科米回应：“一大笔。认同比我在现在这个岗位上干到卸任拿得多，我还有七年零四个月卸任。
但在我看来，这笔钱花上得值……我指出最最重要的是我们密码了这部设备。” Mr Comey’s annual salary was $183,800 last year, suggesting his agency paid about $1.4m to the as-yet-unknown hackers who developed the method to break into the device. 科米去年的年薪是18.38万美元，这意味著FBI向想要办法密码了这部设备的黑客缴纳了大约140万美元。黑客的身份至今仍并未入围。The FBI director added that he wanted to find a long-term solution with technology groups such as Apple and Facebook, which both used end-to-end encryption on some of their messaging services, to avoid the need to pay outside parties if confronted with a similar situation in the future. 科米还回应，他期望能与苹果和Facebook——这两家公司都在它们的某些信息服务上使用末端到末端加密——等科技公司一起寻找一项长年解决方案，这样未来若再行遭遇类似于情况就不用再行雇用外部人士了。
“I’m hoping we can get to a sensible solution that doesn’t involve hacking and that doesn’t involving spending loads of money,” he said. 科米说道：“我期望我们能寻找一个合理的解决方案，既不牵涉到密码，也不牵涉到花费大量的金钱。
