LONDON—Security experts are warning that the global cyberattack that began on Friday is likely to be magnified in the new workweek as users return to their offices and turn on their computers. Many workers, particularly in Asia, had already logged off on Friday when the malicious software, stolen from the United States government, began proliferating across computer systems around the world. So the true impact of the attack may emerge on Monday as employees return and log in. Moreover, copycat variants of the malicious software behind the attacks are likely to spread, since the malware uses mostly open-source code and is easily replicable.
Rob Wainwright, the executive director of Europol, said on Sunday that the attacks had hit 200,000 computers in more than 150 countries. Among the organizations hit were FedEx in the United States, the Spanish telecom giant Telef6nica, the French automaker Renault, universities in China, Germany’s federal railway system and Russia’s powerful Interior Ministry. The most disruptive attacks infected Britain’s public health system, where surgeries had to be rescheduled and some patients were turned away from emergency rooms. Nancy Harper, who went to the hospital for an X-ray, said: "It’s concerning that the N.H.S. was dependent on these outdated systems. If your average person has access to cheap cloud storage these days, then hospitals should be using similar backup methods. I hope this was a wake-up call."
"We could see more attacks if people start to copycat this attack," Matthieu Suiche added. A 22-year-old British researcher who uses the Twitter name Malware Tech has been credited with inadvertently helping to
stanch
the spread of the assault by identifying the web domain for the hackers’ "kill switch"—a way of disabling the malware.
Governments around the world were bracing themselves for the start of the workweek. "This is crucial for businesses when reopening on Monday: Please be aware and anticipate, and take preventive steps against the Wanna Cry malware attack," Indonesia’s communication and information minister, Rudiantara, who like many Indonesians uses only one name, said at a news conference. He advised those hit by the malware against paying the $300 to $600 in Bitcoin demanded as ransom to regain access to encrypted data, since there was no assurance that the extortionists would decrypt the files as promised.
According to Paragraph 1, which one of the following about malicious software is NOT true?
选项
A、It comes from the United States government.
B、When it is released, the true impact of attack emerges immediately.
C、The reproductive variants of it are likely to transmit.
D、It is easily copied.
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词定位到文章第一段。A项与原文stolen from the United States government出处一致。C、D两项中关键词reproductive variants,transmit和copied可在该段最后一句Moreover,copycat variants of the malicious software behind the attacks are likely to spread,since the malware uses mostly open-source code and is easily replicable中找到相关信息,其中transmit(传播),copied(复制)分别是该句中spread和replicable的同义转化。B项意为“恶意软件从互联网上释放出来时.这次攻击的真正影响就立即表现出来”,根据选项关键词true impact可定位到第三句So the true impact of the attack may emerge on Monday as employees return and log in,即“这次攻击的真正影响也许在员工周一上班、登录计算机时才会表现出来”,因此B项表述错误,故本题选B。
