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.
一个名为“thedarkoverlord”的黑客团体，一直威胁要发布9/11文件，条件是获取价值两百万美元的比特币。他们声称入侵了几家保险公司，这些公司掌握了2001年9月11日事件至关重要的机密信息。
CCN previously reported on the group. As Jimmy Aki wrote:
CCN的Jimmy Aki 曾写道：
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集团的一位发言人证实了这一黑客事件，称：黑客已经能够访问一家为该公司提供咨询的律师事务所的机密文件，而且很可能获得了与此次恐怖袭击相关的诉讼文件。
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已经冻结了黑客的账户，于是他们去了Steemit，这是一个基于区块链的抵制审查的社交媒体平台。自消息最初公布以来，他们已经从公众那里收到了超过3个比特币。第一级别的机密文件现已公开。
Not Hacktivists, All About The Money
不是黑客主义者，都是为了钱
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:
黑客们明确表示，他们其实并不在乎真相，9/11文件本身只是他们用来获取资金的一种工具。他们没有公开发布机密消息，但可以付费查阅。他们说：
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.
考虑一下我们的动机是钱，特别是比特币，在我们得到全额报酬之前，我们不会泄露最核心的东西。然而，为了公众的意识和透明度，我们正式宣布了我们的分层补偿计划。下面，我们将宣布所需的成本，以公布每一层破坏性的文件，这是前所未见的方式。
A blog post explains the pricing scheme:
A 博客的一个帖子解释了定价计划：
Preview_Documents.container – Free, we released the key to prove authenticity of our claims.
预览_Documents.Container-免费，我们发布了证明我们索赔的真实性的钥匙。
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层文件）
层2.集装箱-50.000美元BTC（所有第2层文件）
Layer_3集装箱-100.000美元BTC（所有第2层文件）
Layer_4容器-1.000.000美元BTC（所有第4层文件）
Layer_5容器-2.000.000美元BTC（所有第5层文件）
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.
沿途有各种各样的“检查站”，因为公众已经贡献了超过3个比特币，到达了第一层以外的几个检查点，所以已经发布了文档。这笔钱的大部分都是在第一次交易完成的。

Hoax To Take Advantage of 9/11 Truth Seekers?
利用想要寻求9/11真相群众的骗局？
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事件真相仍在调查中，可能有数十万人并不相信官方的说法，9/11事件引起了许多团体的兴趣。纽约市和华盛顿特区的恐怖袭击标志着美国历史上的一个转折点。
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，没有护照就可以去加拿大或墨西哥，之后，国内到国外的旅行就比较耗时耗力了；再就是9/11事件之后允许对美国公民进行一些浅度的窃听。
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，他们公布了第1层文件，有兴趣的人可以通过他们的Steemit博客获得密钥。已经有数百个人参与了，但是有一些帖子并没有什么意义，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.
里面是我不认识的名人的信息，我不关心这些，但是我愿意等待斯诺登的秘密，就像黑客承诺的那样。
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.
从历史观点看，很难判断深入了解9/11事件会对社会产生什么影响，但是可以看出我们的机构和人民已经改变了处理这类事件的态度。
