一黑客组织称周四已攻陷日本首相安倍晋三的官方网站，以此抗议日本的捕鲸计划。
A hacking group said on Thursday it has crashed Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's official website to protest Japan's plans to hunt whales.
日本内阁官房长官菅义伟向记者透露，安倍的一个官方网站在周四早上已无法登陆，警方正在开展调查。该网站到了晚上才恢复正常。
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters that one of Abe's websites became inaccessible early on Thursday and police were investigating. The site was restored by the evening.
菅义伟承认“匿名者”黑客组织在推特上发布消息称对此事负责，但他补充道目前尚不清楚此次攻击是否来自该黑客组织。
Suga acknowledged that the Anonymous hacker group has posted a Twitter message claiming responsibility, but added authorities had not singled out the group as a prime suspect.
“匿名者”黑客组织成员在周四早些时候就曾发推文批评日本捕鲸计划，并警告安倍晋三的网站将被攻击。
One of the group's Twitter messages posted earlier on Thursday criticized Japan over its whaling plans, and warned that Abe's website would be brought down.
原文是：“@安倍晋三捕鲸不是文化权利！你的网站已被＃击倒！”该组织还转发了多条抗议捕鲸活动的推文，其中一条敦促安倍勿食鲸肉。
"@AbeShinzo whaling is not cultural right! Your website is #TangoDown!" the message said. The group has also retweeted anti-whaling messages and one urging Abe not to eat whale meat.
日本多家网站近期相继遭黑客攻击，“匿名者”已经认领其中数十起。而对安倍网站的攻击是最新一起。
The incident on Abe's site is the latest in a series of recent attacks on Japanese websites. The group has said they were responsible for dozens of earlier attacks.
日本软银科技公司的网络安全专家辻敦宏说，该组织选安倍的网站进行攻击“是想吸引公众注意并散播反对日本捕杀海豚和鲸鱼的信息，而不是想真的损害安倍的网站。他们觉得攻击日本首相的网站能造声势。”
The group most likely chose Abe's site "to get public attention and spread their message against dolphin and whale hunts, rather than causing a real damage," said Nobuhiro Tsuji, a cybersecurity expert at Softbank Technology Corp. "They think bringing down the prime minister's website could cause an impact."
日本不顾反捕鲸组织的抗议，在上周恢复其所谓为“科研”目的而进行的年度南极捕鲸活动，该计划先前已经被联合国海牙国际法院叫停，因其捕鲸活动并非出于“科研目的”。
Japan, despite protests from anti-whaling groups, last week resumed its annual Antarctic whale hunt, which it says is done for research, under a revised plan after the International Court of Justice found its earlier program unscientific.
