Questão Q1678888

As American federal authorities and cybersecurity experts rush to identify the full scope of the SolarWinds compromise, the list of known targets grows. The fallout from the cyberattack on the Texas-based software company appears to be vast, with a slew of powerful U.S. government agencies and businesses seemingly being infected by hackers who are believed to be affiliated with Russia.

SolarWinds says it has identified 18,000 customers potentially affected by the incident, which saw the culprits hijack software updates for a widely-used IT monitoring tool called "Orion" to spread malware, seemingly with the intention of espionage. The consequences of the brazen cyber-assault, which was first discovered by security firm FireEye after it too was infiltrated by the same group, are yet to be understood. But experts fear the hackers' access could be exploited to steal sensitive information or destroy and falsify government data, and warn it could take years to fix.

While the full list of victims is unclear — and expanding almost daily — Microsoft said its teams had identified more than 40 of its customers the attackers had aimed at "more precisely and compromised through additional and sophisticated measures."

It now seems likely the scope of the victims could be broad. Microsoft said the initial list included security, technology and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) alongside the government targets. It said 80 percent of attacks that it logged were U.S. based. "This is not 'espionage as usual,' even in the digital age. Instead, it represents an act of recklessness that created a serious technological vulnerability for the United States and the world," Brad Smith, president of the U.S. tech giant, wrote on Thursday.

"The attack unfortunately represents a broad and successful espionage-based assault on both the confidential information of the U.S. government and the tech tools used by firms to protect them. The attack is ongoing," the executive continued. Analysis is ongoing to determine which companies were impacted by the hack, as just because an entity used Orion is not evidence that it was actively compromised.

''The attack is ongoing," the executive continued
antepenultima linha
Ongoing = em andamento, continuando ...
(1)The cyberattacks have stopped, (2)but authorities and experts still want to find who or what is responsible for such crime.

(1) A primeira afirmação é falsa, pois como já dito pelos colegas: ''The attack is ongoing," the executive continued.
(2) A segunda afirmação, no meu entender também não está no texto. É possível afirmar que as autoridades procuram os suspeitos como expresso na linha um, mas afirmar que os "Experts" querem encontrar quem ou o que foi responsável pelo ataque, embora possa parecer óbvio, não foi explicitado no texto.
GABARITO ERRADO
The cyberattacks have stopped, but authorities and experts still want to find who or what is responsible for such crime.
Os ataques cibernéticos pararam, mas as autoridades e especialistas ainda querem descobrir quem ou o que é o responsável por esse crime.
The attack is ongoing," the executive continued. Analysis is ongoing to determine which companies were impacted by the hack, as just because an entity used Orion is not evidence that it was actively compromised.
O ataque está em andamento ”, continuou o executivo. A análise está em andamento para determinar quais empresas foram afetadas pelo hacker, já que só porque uma entidade usou o Orion não é evidência de que ela foi ativamente comprometida.
ERRADO.
"The attack is ongoing..."
um dica que eu dou ..leem sempre jornais em ingles, de la que sao tirado os textos
"The cyberattacks have stopped" but authorities and experts still want to find who or what is responsible for such crime.
Não, os ataques cibernéticos não pararam, visto que no penúltimo período do texto está explícito "The attack is ongoing".

GAB: ERRÔNEO
A questão cobra interpretação de um texto sobre um ataque cibernético a uma empresa nos Estados Unidos.

Vamos analisar o enunciado:

The cyberattacks have stopped, but authorities and experts still want to find who or what is responsible for such crime.

Tradução - Os ataques cibernéticos pararam, mas as autoridades e especialistas ainda querem descobrir quem ou o que é o responsável por esse crime.

A resposta se evidencia no parágrafo 3. Vejamos o trecho em questão:

While the full list of victims is unclear — and expanding almost daily — Microsoft said its teams had identified more than 40 of its customers the attackers had aimed at "more precisely and compromised through additional and sophisticated measures."

Tradução - Embora a lista completa de vítimas não seja clara - e esteja se expandindo quase diariamente - a Microsoft disse que suas equipes identificaram mais de 40 de seus clientes que os invasores visaram "com mais precisão e comprometeram por meio de medidas adicionais e sofisticadas".

Como podemos perceber pela tradução acima, a lista de vítimas está se expandindo quase diariamente, o que nos mostra que os ataques cibernéticos não pararam.

Gabarito do Professor: ERRADO.
The attack is ongoing

ongoing: em progresso.
G-E

Ou seja, não parou... continua se expandindo diariamente
The attack is ongoing,
Disse Brad Smith
