腾讯方面日前宣布,该公司已冻结部分被一种新型支付病毒侵害的微信账户。
Tencent has announced that it has frozen a number of its WeChat accounts that have been compromised by a new payment virus.
国内近日出现了一种勒索病毒,目前已有超过2万个微信账户遭到攻击。
More than 20,000 WeChat accounts have been hit by the domestically-generated ransomware virus.
据称,这种新型病毒与此前曾席卷全球的“想哭”病毒类似,但恶意程度不及后者。
The new virus is said to be similar, though less malicious, than the previous "WannaCry" virus that traveled the globe.
与“想哭”勒索比特币不同,这种新型病毒要求微信用户支付110元赎金以恢复微信文件,这些文件是病毒重点攻击的对象。
Rather than asking for Bitcoin, the new virus demands Wechat users pay 110 yuan to restore documents on WeChat, which are the focus of the attack by the virus.
据互联网安全软件公司火绒安全介绍,淘宝、天猫、阿里旺旺、163邮箱、百度云盘、京东、QQ也是这种病毒的攻击目标。
The virus also targeted Taobao, Tmall, Alitalk, 163 postbox, Baidu Cloud disk, JD.com and QQ, according to a report by Huorong Security, an internet security software company.
