科技动态:乌克兰新出黄金眼勒索病毒肆意猖獗（在线收听）

Believe it or not, it only took one victim in Ukraine to infect computers around the world with the Goldeneye ransomware virus.

无论你是否相信，只需乌克兰的一名受害者就能用黄金眼（Goldeneye）勒索病毒影响全世界的电脑。

What makes Goldeneye so dangerous is that it can spread across a computer network and infect machines that weren't necessarily duped by it.

黄金眼病毒之所以危险，是因为它可以通过网络传播，干扰那些不受欺骗的电脑设备。

It's now easier than ever for even the most amateur of criminals to launch these types of attacks thanks to a leaked NSA exploit called Eternal Blue.

美国国家安全局（NSA）泄露了名为永恒之蓝（Eternal Blue）的漏洞病毒，现在即便是最外行的罪犯也能轻易发出此类黑客攻击。

Unfortunately, the malware is able to encrypt some machines that have been fully patched with the latest security updates, which allowed Goldeneye to permeate private VPN networks.

不幸的是，这款恶意软件能够加密一些已经修补了最新安全漏洞的电脑，这使得黄金眼可以渗透到私人虚拟专用网络中。

If you're worried about protecting yourself from the variants of malware that's been making recent headlines, you can manually download the latest security patches to patch the exploited parts of Windows.

如果你想保护自己不受猖獗的变体恶意软件的袭击，那么你可以手动下载最新的安全补丁，修补Windows系统上的漏洞。
