臺灣第一銀行多臺ATM機遭歐洲黑客攻擊

Three foreign suspects have been arrested in Taiwan in connection with the theft of $2.5m (1.9m pound) from cash machines around the cities.

日前，3名外籍犯罪嫌疑人於臺灣被抓獲，他們涉嫌從臺灣各市的ATM機中偷取250萬美元（約合190萬英鎊）。

A network of criminals from eastern Europe and Russia used malware to hack into dozens of First Commercial bank ATMs, police say.

據臺灣警方表示，這是一夥來自東歐和俄羅斯的網絡犯罪分子，他們利用流氓軟件入侵了臺灣第一銀行的幾十個ATM機。

CCTV footage shows masked thieves walking away with bags of stolen cash.

據CCTV的視頻錄像顯示，蒙面盜賊帶着大包偷來的現金揚長而去。

One Latvian man was held in northeast Taiwan, while two other suspects were arrested in the capital Taipei. More than half of the money has been recovered but another 13 suspects are believed to have fled Taiwan.

最終，一名拉脫維亞人在臺灣東北部被捕，而其他兩名犯罪嫌疑人則在臺北被捕。過半數的被盜現金已經被追回，但是警方認爲另外13名犯罪嫌疑人已經逃離了臺灣。

"This is the first time that an international team of ATM thieves has committed a crime in Taiwan," the head of the police's Criminal Investigation Division, Lee Wen-chang, said.

臺灣警方刑事調查部門負責人李文昌表示：“這是第一次ATM機國際盜竊團伙在臺灣犯案。”

It remains unclear exactly how the thieves installed malware on the machines, but it allowed them to quickly withdraw large amounts of cash. Investigators believe they may have used mobile phones.

目前仍不清楚這些竊賊到底是如何在ATM機上安裝流氓軟件的，但是這確實使得他們能夠快速地取走大量現金。調查員認爲他們可能是使用了手機。

In response, banks have frozen withdrawals from more than 1,000 ATMs.

作爲迴應，臺灣銀行隨即凍結了1000多臺ATM機的取款功能。
