《中英對照讀新聞》Fake Microsoft update is Trojan horse virus
假微軟更新程式內藏特洛伊木馬病毒

A mass e-mail being circulated by hackers purporting to be a Microsoft Windows update alert directs computer users to a fake website where a Trojan virus is installed, security experts said.

駭客正廣為寄送電子郵件，宣稱這是一封微軟視窗作業系統的程式更新提醒，實際上卻引領電腦用戶前往隱藏特洛伊病毒的假網頁，安全專家說。

The security firm Websense said it began receiving reports of the e-mail claiming to be from Microsoft, coincidentally after the software giant announced it was making security updates.

網路安全公司Websense說，該公司開始接獲通報，指收到這封宣稱來自微軟的電子郵件，時間點恰巧就在這家軟體業巨擘宣佈展開安全性更新之後。

“This e-mail spoofs users into thinking that they must update their Windows software,” Websense said.

「這封電子郵件誘騙電腦用戶，讓他們以為必須更新視窗作業軟體，」Websense說。

“Upon clicking on the link, users are forwarded to a fraudulent website. This website is hosted in Australia, and was up at the time of this alert. The website appears very similar to the real Windows Update site.”

「點選信中連結，用戶將被導引前往不實的網頁。網頁設立在澳洲，設立時間就在（微軟發布）這項更新提醒之際。這個網頁看起來非常類似真正的視窗程式更新網址，」該公司說。

But when a user attempts to perform the update, a Trojan horse virus is installed that allows hackers access to the infected computers, the company said.

但當用戶嘗試執行更新時，電腦就會遭特洛伊木馬病毒侵襲，讓駭客能夠進入中毒的電腦，該公司指出。

Dictionary-新聞辭典

Trojan horse：特洛伊木馬，取自「木馬屠城記」中那隻木馬的名稱。在著名的特洛伊戰爭中，特洛伊人因為好奇，在不知情的狀況下把裝滿希臘士兵的大木馬當成戰利品拖進城中，讓希臘人突破特洛伊堅固的城牆，攻陷特洛伊城。特洛伊木馬病毒（或稱木馬程式）就是駭客用來入侵受害者電腦的一種工具。

purport：動詞，佯稱、聲稱，在此與第二段的claim同義。例句：The book purports to be an original work but is really a compilation. （該書聲稱是本有獨到見解的著作，但實際上是一本編輯的書。）

spoof：動詞，哄騙、戲弄。例句：You've been spoofed. （你上當了。）

fraudulent： 形容詞，詐欺的，不老實的；名詞為fraud，意思為詐欺，欺騙。
