微軟公司 (NASDAQ: MSFT) 報告稱，俄羅斯的網絡影響操作現在正在瞄準賀錦麗 - 蒂姆·沃爾茲（Kamala Harris-Tim Walz）的競選活動，以準備2024年總統選舉。
What Happened: In a blog post on Tuesday, Microsoft's Threat Analysis Center, or MTAC stated that it has noticed a change in Russian tactics.
發生了什麼事：微軟的威脅分析中心（MTAC）在週二的博客文章中指出，他們注意到俄羅斯的戰術發生了變化。
Two Russian actors that Microsoft tracks as Storm-1516 and Storm-1679, have been under MTAC's close watch.
微軟追蹤的兩個俄羅斯行爲者，被稱爲Storm-1516和Storm-1679，受到了MTAC的密切關注。
Storm-1516, identified as a Kremlin-aligned troll farm, produced and disseminated two inauthentic videos, each generating millions of views.
Storm-1516被認定爲與克里姆林宮對齊的巨魔農場，製作並傳播了兩個僞造的視頻，每個視頻都產生了數百萬的觀看量。
Storm-1679, reportedly aligned with the Kremlin, shifted its focus from the 2024 Paris Olympic Games to publishing false videos discrediting the Democratic nominee Harris.
報道稱，與克里姆林宮對齊的Storm-1679將其重點從2024年巴黎奧運會轉向發佈虛假視頻來詆譭民主黨候選人賀錦麗。
Microsoft also highlighted that Russia and Iran are not the only countries using influence operations to affect the election.
微軟還指出，俄羅斯和伊朗並不是唯一利用影響操作來影響選舉的國家。
A Chinese-linked influence actor, which Microsoft calls Storm-1852, has successfully pivoted to short-form video content criticizing the Biden administration and Harris campaign.
微軟稱之爲Storm-1852的與中國有關的影響行爲者已成功轉向批評拜登政府和賀錦麗競選活動的短視頻內容。

Why It Matters: The recent cyber attacks on the Harris-Walz campaign come in the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin's public support for Vice President Harris in the 2024 presidential election, although he probably meant that in a sarcastic manner.
賀錦麗-沃爾茲競選活動最近遭受的網絡攻擊發生在俄羅斯總統普京公開支持副總統賀錦麗參加2024年總統選舉之後，儘管他可能是以諷刺的方式說的。
U.S. intelligence officials have noted that Russia is attempting to influence voters toward Donald Trump and away from Harris.
美國情報官員指出，俄羅斯正試圖影響選民偏向唐納德·特朗普，而不是賀錦麗。
"Russia, Iran, and China are trying by some measure to exacerbate divisions in U.S. society for their own benefit, and see election periods as moments of vulnerability," stated the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in September.
「俄羅斯、伊朗和中國正在以某種方式加劇美國社會的分裂，以謀取自己的利益，並將選舉期視爲脆弱時刻。」國家情報總監辦公室在九月份表示。
Russia has also been reportedly using American social media influencers to sway the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
據報道，俄羅斯還利用美國社交媒體意見領袖來影響2024年美國總統選舉。
In August, Trump's presidential campaign confirmed a security breach in its internal communications, suspecting the attack was carried out by "foreign sources hostile to the U.S."
今年8月，特朗普的總統競選活動證實其內部通信遭到了安全漏洞，懷疑這次攻擊是由「敵對於美國的外國勢力」發起的。
