22歲少年無意中破解勒索病毒
This is the 22-year-old computer wizard who put a stop to the ransomware virus that caused chaos around the world.
一位22歲的電腦大神破解了在全球造成混亂的勒索病毒。The British surfer, named as Marcus Hutchins, became an ‘accidental hero' after halting the global spread of the unprecedented attack.
這位英國網蟲名叫Marcus Hutchins，這場病毒突襲因他沒有在全球蔓延。He stopped the virus in just a few hours - by which point, it had brought chaos to the NHS and thousands of other victims.
他在幾個小時內就終止了病毒——到那個時候，這種病毒已經在英國國家醫療服務體系造成了騷亂，給成千上萬的受害者帶來了麻煩。
It is thought he did this from a small bedroom at his parents' home, packed with video games and takeaway pizza boxes.
據稱他是在父母家屬於他的那間小小的臥室裏完成自己的英雄業績的，臥室裏到處是網絡遊戲光碟，還有披薩外賣的包裝盒。
One of Marcus's friends said that the surfer - who had been tweeting anonymously by the name MalwareTech - was just "doing his job" when he put a halt to the spread of the virus.
Marcus一直以MalwareTech的網名混跡在推特網上。Marcus的一個朋友說：他把終止病毒擴散的英雄壯舉當成了自己的“例行公事”。Marcus realised that by registering a website domain name the virus code could be stopped.
Marcus發現，只要註冊一個特定網站的域名就能制止病毒程序的運行。Computer experts have warned the block on the virus may only be temporary and the hackers could easily start up a new one capable of infecting millions more computers within days.
電腦專家警告稱，對病毒的攔截可能只是暫時的，黑客可以輕而易舉的創建一個新的域名，很快就能繼續感染千百萬的電腦。
