　　One way around this is to sign up for Project Shield, a programme (free to those accepted for enrolment into it) run by Google and designed to keep independent news organisations online. Google says Project Shield already protects both individual journalists and editorial organisations, including Rafael Marques de Morais, who reports on corruption and politics in Angola, and El Ciudadano, a Chilean periodical that promotes social and political reform. Since September 25th it has been protecting Mr Krebs, too—though attacks on his web server continue. CloudFlare offers a similar service, Project Galileo, which protects the American Civil Liberties Union, the Committee to Protect Journalists and others.

　　在这种攻击面前还有一个选择，即“护盾项目”，这是Google运营的项目(给在Google登陆的用户提供免费服务)，旨在保护独立新闻机构的网络运营。Google说，“护盾项目”已经给独立新闻者和期刊评论机构提供了保护，包括专门报导安哥拉的腐败政治的Rafael Marques de Morais，以及智利一本促进社会和政治改革的期刊《El Ciudadano》。从9月25日起，该项目已经开始保护Krebs了，尽管Krebs的网站仍在遭受攻击。而CloudFlare也提供了一个相似的服务——“伽利略计划”——用以保护美国民权同盟、记者委员会，以及其他的组织。

　　Chilean：adj. 智利文化的;智利人的

　　注：2013年，Google宣布，它将帮助网站业主们保护他们的站点抵挡"分布式拒绝服务攻击"(DDoS)。Google希望"护盾项目"(Project Shield)能够帮助小网站在遭受DDoS攻击期间继续运行，尤其是那些资源不足、却承载着与"媒体、选举和人权"相关内容的站点。截止目前(2013年10月23日)，该项目已用于帮助若干敏感领域的小站，使它们在黑客和政府的攻击下挺了下来。

　　Ultimately, however, the answer to DDoS attacks like that perpetrated by Mirai is to build better security into both devices and the networks they are attached to. Edith Ramirez, chairwoman of America’s Federal Trade Commission, said as much in January 2015 when she delivered a polite but blistering speech about privacy and security practices at one of the electronic industry’s main trade meetings, the Consumer Electronics Show, in Las Vegas. Equally politely, deaf ears were turned. Andy Ellis, Akamai’s chief security officer, says network operators could introduce filters that would prevent common illegitimate traffic from reaching its destination, but the costs and complexities involved mean they do not want to—particularly if their competitors are not forced to bear similar costs.

　　然而诸如受到Mirai攻击的这种DDoS攻击的最终解决方法便是，给那些与网络攻击有关的设备和网络建立更坚固的保护。美国联邦贸易委员会的女会长Edith Ramirez说，正如2015年1月，在拉斯维加斯消费电子展会上，在与一家电子工厂的主要贸易会议上，她礼貌而又激烈地就隐私权和安全实践进行了演讲，但是同样地，人们礼貌地选择了装聋作哑。阿卡迈的首席安全官Andy Ellis说，网络运营商可以用过滤器来阻止一般性非法访问，不过这个成本和复杂性可能会让它们望而却步——特别是如果在这件事上，它们的竞争者无需花同等的费用的时候。

　　Perpetrate：vt. 犯(罪);做(恶)Blistering：adj. 猛烈的operator：n. 经营者complexity n. 复杂性

　　One answer might be government action, in the form of required security standards, to level the playing-field by making all firms bear the same burden. There is no immediate sign of that happening, but if DDoS attacks in the trillions of bits per second range proliferate, that may change. In the meantime, though, people like Mr Krebs will continue to suffer from what Bruce Schneier, an internet-security guru at IBM, aptly describes as “thedemocratisation of censorship”.

　　期待您的翻译，您可以将翻译留言到文章底部，第二天会有详细解析哦。这并不会立即实施，不过如果每秒万亿级的DDoS攻击现象激增的话，也许会加快这一进程。然而与此同时， 像Krebs这样受到攻击的人，还会继续遭受来自如IBM网络安全专家Bruce Schneier恰当描述的“审查制度的民主化”这一缓慢过程的折磨。

　　Guru：n. 古鲁(指印度教等宗教的宗师或领袖);专家Aptly：adv. 适宜地;适当地Democratisation：n. 民主化Censorship：n. 审查制度;审查机构
