In fact, Petraeus and Broadwell were very discreet when communicating by e-mail. Not only were they using pseudonyms, they were also using a method known in the intelligence community as the “dead drop”.
事实上,彼得雷乌斯和博德维之间的在互通电邮时十分谨慎小心。他们不仅使用化名,还采取了情报机构非常熟悉的手段,即“情报秘密传递点”。
According to Slate magazine, a dead drop is a tactic favored by terrorists trying to evade government surveillance of their communication networks.
美国《石板》杂志称,情报秘密传递点是恐怖分子在试图摆脱政府对其通讯网络的监控时,所采用的一种策略。
Before the Internet, dead drops, often used by spies, would involve hiding a written message or package in a secret location or letterbox that only fellow operatives would know about.
在互联网出现之前,间谍通常采用这种方法,比如将信件或是包裹藏在一个只有自己人知道的秘密地点或信箱中。
According to an AP report, Petraeus and Broadwell used a high-tech version of this technique. Rather than sending messages by e-mail, they left them in a draft folder or in an electronic “dropbox”. The other person could then log on to the same account and read the draft e-mails there. This avoids creating an e-mail trail that is easier to trace.
美联社的一份报告称,彼得雷乌斯和博德维使用了高科技的情报秘密传递点。他们不通过电邮传递信息,而是将信息存放在草稿夹或秘密的电子邮箱里。另一个人便可以登陆同一账号并读取草稿邮件。从而避免产生更易于追踪的电子邮件发送记录。
