勒索病毒可能迅速反撲，因爲大家都在交贖金

Another ransomware attack is disrupting systems in Europe, from computers at a British ad agency to radiation sensors at the Chernobyl power plant, according to a report. Computers at Danish shipping giant Maersk were also affected, the company said.
據報道，從英國的一家廣告代理公司的計算機到切爾諾貝利發電廠的輻射傳感器，又一輪勒索病毒攻擊正在擾亂歐洲的操作系統。丹麥航運巨頭馬士基表示，該公司的電腦也被病毒感染了。

And security experts say the malware, which Symantec researchers report is using one of the same exploits as last month's massive WannaCry attack, likely won't be the last of its kind for the reason that ransomware victims really do pay to recover their files. An expert speaking to the media pointed to reports that a South Korean web hosting provider recently paid a ransom of about $1 million in bitcoin, and Symantec said in a report earlier this year that 64% of American victims, and 34% of victims worldwide, are willing to pay a ransomware bounty to recover their files.
據賽門鐵克研究員彙報，這種惡意軟件在利用與上個月大規模勒索病毒攻擊相同的一個漏洞。而安全專家表示，這種惡意軟件很可能不會因爲勒索病毒受害者真的付錢恢復文件就停止這類攻擊。一位專家告訴媒體，一家韓國虛擬主機供應商最近就支付了約100萬美元的比特幣贖金，而且賽門鐵克在今年早期發佈的一份報告中指出，美國64%的受害者以及全球34%的受害者都願意向勒索軟件支付贖金來恢復他們的文件。

Perhaps unsurprisingly, that report also found the average ransom demand on the rise, up to more than $1,000 per victim.
那份報告還發現，要求支付的平均贖金在增加，達每位受害者1000多美元，這也許並不讓人驚訝。
