美國《紐約時報》1月13日刊登了一篇文章《在一片對中國的指責聲中，焦點落到網絡安全上》（http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/14/technology/14google.html?pagewanted=all），文中提到一位穀歌聲稱Gmail被黑的“人權活動者”。看文中這幾句話：
In early January, Tenzin Seldon, a 20-year-old Stanford student and Tibetan activist, was told by university officials to contact Google because her Gmail account had been hacked.
Ms. Seldon, the Indian-born daughter of Tibetan refugees, said she immediately contacted David Drummond, Google’s chief legal officer.
今年1月初，一名在斯坦福大學就讀的20歲西藏活動人士Tenzin Seldon被校方告知，她的Gmail郵箱賬戶遭到了黑客襲擊。校方告訴她與穀歌公司聯係。
Tenzin Seldon是出生在印度的西藏難民的女兒。她說，她在得到校方通知後立即與穀歌首席法務官David Drummond進行了聯係。
而這篇文章裏邊提到的被黑的那位藏族活動者丹增·塞爾登（Tanzin Seldon）應該也是是“自由西藏學生組織”（Students for a Free Tibet）成員，而且她參與了去年到中國駐舊金山領事館舉行的抗議活動，其間有一人（不是她）爬上領館建築的屋頂上模擬“絞刑”以示抗議。但繩子突然斷裂，該人從約4.6米高的屋頂摔到陽台上，後被送往醫院治療，應無大礙。北美文學城獨家報導。

另外，我在斯坦福大學評論中看到有一篇文章提到Tanzin Seldon，（http://stanfordreview.org/article/stanford-in-the-eyes-of-transfer-students），文章裏說Tanzin Seldon是個轉校生。裏麵有一段話是說她的：

丹增·塞爾登出生和成長在印度，是作為難民轉入明尼蘇達州的。塞爾登說她覺得和西藏最密切，因為在她出生之前她的父母就是從那兒通過喜馬拉雅山逃出來的。雖然她從來沒有去過西藏，但她認為西藏是最能引起她共鳴的地方。
Stanford student caught in Google cyberattack

When Tenzin Seldon, a 20-year-old sophomore at Stanford, logged onto her Gmail account from New York over winter break, she may have helped Google understand the widespread penetration of its network by unidentified hackers in China.
Unknown to Seldon, a regional coordinator of Students for a Free Tibet, at the same moment she was reading her e-mail in Queens, someone in China was logged into her account as well. Top Google officials, including chief legal officer David Drummond, later told Seldon that the suspicious situation alerted them that she was one of the human rights activists whose electronic mail was routinely being spied upon by someone in China.
"That the long arm of Chinese security could reach all the way to my home here at Stanford is something I never would have suspected," said Seldon, the first activist targeted in the cyberattack to be identified. "It's very disturbing when your Gmail account, which is as personal as it gets, can be hacked into and breached."
Following the company's detection of widespread cyberspying on the Gmail accounts of human rights activists in the United States, China and Europe, Google said this week that it will consider closing its operations in China, unless the government stops forcing Google to censor its search engine.
While Google has acquiesced at filtering its search results on Google.cn, the attack on activists such as Seldon appears to have precipitated the company's bombshell declaration. According to Google officials, her black Hewlett-Packard laptop with the red Stanford "S" sticker on the outside was one of perhaps two machines Google examined for signs of malicious software, or "malware," that would have allowed cyberspies entry to her Gmail account.
Despite spending six days going through her laptop in early January, Google was unable to find any signs of malware on it. An industry source familiar with the case said her laptop may have been infected with a sophisticated form of malware programmed to harvest and relay back Gmail passwords, before erasing itself from her hard drive.
Seldon says she never remembers opening any suspicious e-mail attachments, and that she has never shared her password with anyone. Most recently, she has been involved with the case of Dhondup Wangchen, a Tibetan filmmaker who she said was imprisoned by the government after making a documentary about the frustration of Tibetans living under Chinese rule.
Seldon's parents were Tibetan farmers who fled to India about 1960 to remain close to the Dalai Lama, after China's annexation of Tibet. She grew up in India and attended high school in the Bay Area. Biking through campus with a black pony tail, a large backpack stuffed with her laptop and a red plastic water bottle, Seldon looked like a typical undergraduate Thursday, rather than an international activist. But she speaks four languages fluently and is among a very few members of the Tibetan exile community in India who have made it to Stanford.
"The fact that the Chinese government is intimidated by a 20-year-old is kind of sad," she said in a conversation on campus.
Underlying the gravity of the situation for Google, Marty Lev, the company's director of safety and security, showed up at her dorm to pick up her laptop. A Google spokesman confirmed Seldon's account of her conversations with Drummond and Lev.
She plans to go into politics later in life — perhaps in Tibet, perhaps in the United States. She said she is thrilled about the censorship stance Google is taking, because she believes the Chinese government will relent and allow Tibetans in China to see photos of the Dalai Lama on the Internet.
And Seldon plans to continue her activism.
"I'm a Tibetan person. If I don't speak on their behalf, who will?"
