Kremlin turns back to typewriters to avoid leaks 避免洩密 克里姆林宮回歸打字機

A Russian state service in charge of safeguarding Kremlin communications is looking to purchase an array of old-fashioned typewriters to prevent leaks from computer hardware, sources said Thursday.
負責保護克里姆林宮通訊安全的俄羅斯國家機構想要購買一批舊式打字機，以免消息從電腦硬體中洩漏，消息人士週四透露。
The throwback to the paper-strewn days of Soviet bureaucracy has reportedly been prompted by the publication of secret documents by anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks and the revelations leaked by former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.
回歸蘇聯時代用紙張打字的作法，據傳是受到「維基解密」網站公開機密文件及美國國家安全局承包商前雇員史諾頓洩密的影響。
The Federal Guard Service, which is also in charge of protecting President Vladimir Putin, is looking to spend just over 486,000 rubles to buy a number of electric typewriters, according to the site of state procurement agency, zakupki.gov.ru.
根據國家採購局網站zakupki.gov.ru，同時負責保衛俄羅斯總統普廷的聯邦警衛局準備花費48.6萬盧布購買若干電動打字機。
Pro-Kremlin newspaper Izvestia said the state service was looking to purchase 20 typerwriters because using computers to prepare top-secret documents may no longer be safe.
親克里姆林宮的「消息報」說，警衛局希望購買20台打字機，因為用電腦處理絕對機密文件可能不再安全。
Unlike printers, every typewriter has its own indvidual pattern of type so it is possible to link every document to a machine used to type it, Izvestia said.
打字機和印表機不同，每一台都有獨特的字體樣式，所以每份文件都可能找到用來打字的機器，消息報報導。
Documents leaked by Snowden appeared to show that Britain spied on foreign delegates including then president Dmitry Medvedev at the 2009 London G20 meetings, said British newspaper The Guardian last month.
史諾頓洩漏的文件證明英國在2009年倫敦G20會議中暗中監視外國代表，包括時任俄國總統的梅德維傑夫，英國衛報上月報導。
