A group going by the name “thedarkoverlord” has been threatening to release 9/11 papers in lieu of a Bitcoin ransom. They demand a huge sum of money in Bitcoin. $2 million, to be exact, to either release or withhold the documents. They claim to have hacked several insurance companies with confidential information crucial to the events of 9/11/2001.
一個名為“thedarkoverlord”的黑客團體，一直威脅要發佈9/11文件，條件是獲取價值兩百萬美元的比特幣。他們聲稱入侵了幾家保險公司，這些公司掌握了2001年9月11日事件至關重要的機密信息。
CCN previously reported on the group. As Jimmy Aki wrote:
CCN的Jimmy Aki 曾寫道：
A spokesperson for the Hiscox Group gave confirmation of the hack, stating that the hackers had been able to gain access to the confidential files of a law firm that advised the company and had most likely gotten litigation files that were related to the terrorist attack.
Hiscox集團的一位發言人證實了這一黑客事件，稱：黑客已經能夠訪問一家為該公司提供諮詢的律師事務所的機密文件，而且很可能獲得了與此次恐怖襲擊相關的訴訟文件。
Twitter has suspended their account. They moved to Steemit, a blockchain-based censorship-resistant social media platform. Since their initial announcement, they have received more than 3 bitcoins from the public. The first “level” and a few “checkpoints” are now publicly available.
Twitter已經凍結了黑客的賬戶，於是他們去了Steemit，這是一個基於區塊鏈的抵制審查的社交媒體平臺。自消息最初公佈以來，他們已經從公眾那裡收到了超過3個比特幣。第一級別的機密文件現已公開。
Not Hacktivists, All About The Money
不是黑客主義者，都是為了錢
The hackers explicitly state that they don’t actually care about the truth. The 9/11 papers themselves are just a vehicle to get money. The group prefers payment over public release. They say:
黑客們明確表示，他們其實並不在乎真相，9/11文件本身只是他們用來獲取資金的一種工具。他們沒有公開發布機密消息，但可以付費查閱。他們說：
Consider our motivations (money, specifically Bitcoin), we’re not inclined to leak the juiciest items until we’re paid in full. However, in the interest of public awareness and transparency, we’re officially announcing our tiered compensation plan. Below, we’ll announce the required cost to release each layer of damaging documents that are filled with new truths, never before seen.
考慮一下我們的動機是錢，特別是比特幣，在我們得到全額報酬之前，我們不會洩露最核心的東西。然而，為了公眾的意識和透明度，我們正式宣佈了我們的分層補償計劃。下面，我們將宣佈所需的成本，以公佈每一層破壞性的文件，這是前所未見的方式。
A blog post explains the pricing scheme:
A 博客的一個帖子解釋了定價計劃：
Preview_Documents.container – Free, we released the key to prove authenticity of our claims.
預覽_Documents.Container-免費，我們發佈了證明我們索賠的真實性的鑰匙。
Layer_1.container – 5.000 USD of BTC (All Layer 1 Documents)
Layer_2.container – 50.000 USD of BTC (All Layer 2 Documents)
Layer_3.container – 100.000 USD of BTC (All Layer 2 Documents)
Layer_4.container – 1.000.000 USD of BTC (All Layer 4 Documents)
Layer_5.container – 2.000.000 USD of BTC (All Layer 5 Documents)
Layer_1容器-5.000美元BTC（所有第1層文件）
層2.集裝箱-50.000美元BTC（所有第2層文件）
Layer_3集裝箱-100.000美元BTC（所有第2層文件）
Layer_4容器-1.000.000美元BTC（所有第4層文件）
Layer_5容器-2.000.000美元BTC（所有第5層文件）
There are various “checkpoints” along the way. Accordingly, since the public has contributed over 3 BTC, a couple of checkpoints beyond layer 1 have already been reached and documents have been released. The majority of the money was contributed in one transaction.
沿途有各種各樣的“檢查站”，因為公眾已經貢獻了超過3個比特幣，到達了第一層以外的幾個檢查點，所以已經發布了文檔。這筆錢的大部分都是在第一次交易完成的。

一群黑客威脅要發佈9/11文件，想要獲取價值兩百萬美元的比特幣，不然就要發佈這些機密文件。

Hoax To Take Advantage of 9/11 Truth Seekers?
利用想要尋求9/11真相群眾的騙局？
9/11 truth-seeking is still a big interest in American culture. Potentially hundreds of thousands of people do not believe the official story. The 9/11 papers are of interest to lots of groups. The terrorist attack in New York City and Washington DC marked a turning point in American history.
9/11事件真相仍在調查中，可能有數十萬人並不相信官方的說法，9/11事件引起了許多團體的興趣。紐約市和華盛頓特區的恐怖襲擊標誌著美國曆史上的一個轉折點。
Previous to that, travel within and without the country was relatively easy. One could go to Canada or Mexico without a passport. The TSA was established as a result of 9/11. Today it costs absurd amounts in terms of productivity and time. Other changes like the USA PATRIOT Act, which allowed some warantless wiretapping of US citizens, followed.
在9/11事件之前，沒有護照就可以去加拿大或墨西哥，之後，國內到國外的旅行就比較耗時耗力了；再就是9/11事件之後允許對美國公民進行一些淺度的竊聽。
Yesterday, they announced the unlocking of Layer 1. Those with an interest can get the key through their Steemit blog. They already have hundreds of followers, and many of their posts have been upvoted quite a lot. Some of their posts are less interesting, like this one, which one user described:
昨天，他們公佈了第1層文件，有興趣的人可以通過他們的Steemit博客獲得密鑰。已經有數百個人參與了，但是有一些帖子並沒有什麼意義，有人抱怨道：
This is celebrity garbage, nobody gives two bits of shit about these people ( i have no clue who any of them are) – bring the realness. I’m willing to wait and see but dropping this is in no way comparable to the Snowden’s leaks as you claimed previously.
裡面是我不認識的名人的信息，我不關心這些，但是我願意等待斯諾登的秘密，就像黑客承諾的那樣。
At this point in history, it’s hard to tell what impact full knowledge of the 9/11 events would have on society. Arguably, by and large our institutions and people have adapted to the change in security culture.
從歷史觀點看，很難判斷深入瞭解9/11事件會對社會產生什麼影響，但是可以看出我們的機構和人民已經改變了處理這類事件的態度。
