我们每天看到的娱乐八卦有相当一部分都是狗仔队的爆料。在科技不太发达的时期,他们跟踪、偷拍的功夫已经很了得;到了网络时代,估计不少狗仔都琢磨着学点黑客知识,以便窥探更隐私的明星资料呢。
Hackerazzi are cybercriminals who hack into the email accounts of celebrities to access and exploit their private information. Hackerazzi derives from paparazzi, a term for photo journalists who doggedly pursue celebrities to take candid pictures and sell them to newspapers and magazines.
Hackerazzi(黑客狗仔)指入侵名人的电子邮件帐户以获取并搜寻名人隐私信息的网络犯罪分子。Hackerazzi一词实为hacker(黑客)和paparazzi(狗仔)的合成词,延续了狗仔们“跟踪名人、偷拍照片、给报刊爆料”的行为风格。
For example:
With his head hung low, Jacksonville's so-called hackerazzi admits he hacked into the email accounts of celebrities. He faces up to 60 years in prison after pleading guilty to wiretapping and unauthorized access to a computer.
杰克逊维尔这名所谓的“黑客狗仔”低着头承认他曾经入侵过名人的电邮帐号,并对窃听以及非法入侵电脑等罪行供认不讳。他将面临60年的监禁。
