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 Nancy Harper, who went to the hospital for an X-ray, said: "It’s concerning that the N.H.S. was dependent on these outdated systems.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.
Among the following organizations,______is damaged the most seriously.
选项
A、the French automaker Renault
B、Germany’ s federal railway system
C、Britain’ s public health system
D、the Spanish telecom giant Telef6nica
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词定位到文章第二段第三句The most disruptive attacks infected Britain’s public health system。其中,题干关键词damaged the most seriously是the most disruptive attacks的同义转换,故选C。根据第二段第二句可知,“法国汽车制造商雷诺”“德国的联邦铁路系统”“西班牙的电信巨头Telefonica”都受到了相应的攻击,但并没有表明其所受攻击的危害程度,排除A、B、D,故本题选C。
