Technology is making spousal financial abuse easier, particularly among affluent Americans.
科技使得配偶间的经济虐待更加容易,特别是在富裕的美国人中。


Spousal financial abuse involves one partner attempting to control, manipulate or intimidate the other through money. In the past, abusers may have put a partner on a strict budget and kept bank accounts and assets from them.
配偶间的经济虐待包括其中一方试图通过金钱来控制,操纵,恐吓另外一方。过去,施虐者可能会严格控制预算和对其隐瞒银行账户和资产。


Now, they can also install keystroke-monitoring software on a victim’s laptop to see if a spouse is seeking help or opening their own accounts. Hidden cameras are another common tool used to monitor a spouse’s daily activities. GPS tracking devices also aid surveillance.
现在,他们还可以在受害人的笔记本电脑上安装按键监控软件来看看配偶是否在寻求帮助或开立了自己的帐户。隐形摄像头是另一个常用的监视配偶日常活动的工具。GPS追踪设备也帮着监控。


Advocates say affluent women are at more risk than many people may think. They are less likely to report abuse to law enforcement if their family has social standing within the community. Often, they fear family expenses, such as a child’s tuition, won’t be paid.
倡导者表示富裕女性所面临的风险比许多人想象的要大。如果她们的家庭在社区中有一定的地位的话,那么她们不太可能向执法机关检举虐待行为。通常,她们担心家庭的一些费用,比如孩子的学费,无法支付。


Joe Seanor, a former Central Intelligence Agency analyst who is now an investigative and security consultant, says abusers today have a better grasp of technology than in years past.
前美国中央情报局分析员,现为调查和安全顾问的乔塞诺尔表示,现在施虐者对科技的掌握比前些年更好。


“Technology is being used as a quick and easy way for a husband to abuse a wife,” he says.
“科技正被当作丈夫虐待妻子的一个快捷方便的方式在使用,”他说.


Several of the abusers Mr. Seanor has investigated use cryptocurrency to hide assets from their wives. Their goal: to pay less alimony and child support following a divorce. Abusers may also use their company’s virtual private network to encrypt communications, which makes it more difficult to track online activity, he says.
塞诺尔调查的几名施虐者用加密货币来对妻子隐藏资产。他们是为了在离婚后少付一些生活费和子女抚养费。施虐者还会利用他们公司的虚拟专用网络来对通讯加密,使得追踪线上活动变得更困难,他说。


But technology also is enabling investigators. For example, Mr. Seanor recovered evidence of $1.3 million in hidden accounts from deleted information an abuser left on an old SD card. Forensic imaging of a female client’s iPad allowed him to see her husband had accessed a brokerage account she didn’t know existed from the tablet.
但科技也有利于调查人员。比如,塞诺尔从施虐者遗留在旧SD卡上删除的信息中恢复了130万美元隐藏账户的证据。对一位女性客户iPad的影像采证使他得知她的丈夫曾经通过此电脑进入一个她并不知道的经纪账户。


There are some steps victims can take to plan their escape. They should try to save money, even if it is in small increments. One survivor asked for $5 in cash back every time she went to the grocery store and bought something with a debit card. She would then store the cash in a tampon case and shoeboxes. By the time she escaped her relationship, she had saved several thousand dollars.It gave her a start at financial independence again.
受害者可以采取一些步骤来计划逃跑。他们应该试着存一些钱,即使是每次一点点。一名受害者在每次去杂货店用借记卡买东西时都会要求返还5美元现金。然后她将现金藏在棉条盒和鞋盒里。到她逃离这种关系时,她已经存了几千美元。这使她重新开始经济独立。
