US whistleblower Edward Snowden said the US government had been hacking1 into computers in Hong Kong and on the Chinese mainland for years.
 
美国告密者爱德华·斯诺登表示,美国政府已入侵香港和中国大陆的电脑系统多年。
 
Whistleblower指“告发者,告密者”,也就是向公众或政府部门揭发非法活动(illegal activities)或不当行为(misconduct)的人,“检举、告发某人”就是blow the whistle on somebody,如:The government is encouraging people to blow the whistle on corruption2. (政府鼓励人民举报贪污。)。前两年,我国监察机关提议的“实名举报”就是real-name whistleblowing。
 
斯诺登称,美国国家安全局(National Security Agency, NSA)在全球进行超过61000个入侵电脑行动(hacking operations)。
