避免泄露機密 美國國防部發布限用手機新規

The US Department of Defense has introduced a new policy setting more restrictions for cellphones as well as some electronic devices in Pentagon areas designated for processing, handling or discussing classified information, according to a Pentagon memo.

根據五角大樓發佈的一份備忘錄，美國國防部出臺一項新政，對在五角大樓用於處理、操作或討論機密情報的手機及部分電子設備設置更多限制。

The memo, signed by Deputy Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan, appears to make clear the current practice that requires phones be left in "daily-use storage containers that are located outside the secure space" where sensitive materials are handled or discussed.

這份由國防部副部長帕特里克·沙納罕簽署的備忘錄似乎清楚地闡明，目前的措施是把手機放到“位於安全區域外日常使用的儲物裏”，在安全區域工作人員會處理或討論敏感材料。

But it notes that cellphones can still be used in common areas and other Pentagon offices if classified information is not present.

但備忘錄指出，手機仍可以在普通區域及五角大樓其他不涉及機密信息的辦公室內使用。

The new rules, which take effect immediately and must be fully implemented within six months, apply to the Defense Department's personnel, contractors and visitors and cover "laptops, tablets, cellular phones, smart watches, and other devices that are portable".

據悉，新規將立即生效，且必須在六個月內全面實施，適用於國防部的內部人員、承包商和訪客，涉及筆記本電腦、平板電腦、移動電話、智能手錶和其他便攜式裝置。

The memo notes several exceptions, including the use of government-issued cellphones by senior officials in secure spaces if the camera, microphone and wireless capabilities are turned off.

備忘錄還提到一些例外情況，其中包括若攝像頭、麥克風和無線上網功能關閉，則高級官員可在安全區域內使用政府發放的移動電話。

Pentagon launched a review on the use of cellphones in January after GPS reporting company Strava published a global heat map based on user exercise routes.

在全球定位系統（GPS）追蹤公司Strava發佈了一份基於用戶運動軌跡的全球熱圖後，五角大樓今年1月對手機的使用情況進行了評估。

The map showed running routes of soldiers on remote and classified U.S. military bases.
