Dylan早上見到同事Cory和Brenda, 告訴他們公司出事了。

Dylan: Hey, Cory....did you hear about the break-in?

Cory: No! Burglars broke in? Did they steal anything valuable?

D: Actually, they might have gotten quite a bit of valuable information. But it wasn't thieves, it was online hackers.

C: Ah, so somebody broke into our computer system! Oh, good morning, Brenda. Did you hear the news? There was a cyber attack!

B: Oh my! But I thought we had very strong Internet firewalls.

D: We do, but all it takes is one mistake and hackers can come pouring in like an invading army.

Dylan 問同事Cory聽沒聽說公司有人非法闖入break-in, 不過不是真的有人夜盜，而是 online hackers 網(wǎng)上的駭客。The hackers broke into our computer system. 駭客進(jìn)入了公司的電腦系統(tǒng)，這也可以被稱為 cyber attack. 盡管公司安裝了 Internet firewalls 互聯(lián)網(wǎng)防火墻，但是稍一疏忽大意，還是被駭客鉆了空子。

B: Does the I.T. department have any idea how this happened?

D: It looks like the hackers got in from an unsecure corporate e-mail account.

C: And then they loaded up a virus?

D: Not a virus, but they put spyware or malware into our system.

C: I've heard of spyware but what's malware?

B: Malware is short for "malicious software." Malware is any kind of software that is specially designed to infiltrate a computer system.

C: So spyware is a kind of malware.

公司電腦技術(shù)部門的調(diào)查顯示，這次襲擊是通過一個(gè) unsecure e-mail account 沒加保密措施的電子郵箱偷偷安裝的 spyware 或 malware. malware是 malicious software兩個(gè)字連在一起產(chǎn)生的，spyware間諜軟件是malware惡意軟件的一種，都是破壞電腦安全的軟件，目的是滲透進(jìn)入電腦系統(tǒng)，infiltrate is spelled i-n-f-i-l-t-r-a-t-e, infiltrate, infiltrate 意思是滲透 。

B: Sometimes the malware follows each keystroke you make, and then sends the information back to the hacker.

D: Or, sometimes they install a program called a Trojan horse that steals data.

C: Do you think this cyber attack was instigated by one of our competitors?

D: I don't want to point fingers, but it certainly could be. If a Trojan horse got into our mainframe it could download a lot of sensitive info about our company's upcoming product launches.

B: Many companies do spy on each other....but of course, it's illegal.

特洛伊木馬程序 Trojan horse 也是駭客常用的一種程序，目的是盜取電腦系統(tǒng)里的數(shù)據(jù)。Brenda說，現(xiàn)在很多公司都 spy on each other 彼此展開電子間諜行動(dòng)，那這次的駭客入侵是不是他們公司競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手干的呢?Dylan說，I don't want to point fingers. 我不想指責(zé)誰，to point fingers at someone 是一種很形象的說法，意思是指責(zé)某人做某事，但是如果駭客真在他們公司的電腦系統(tǒng)里安裝了特洛伊木馬程序的話，就可能盜取很多 sensitive information 敏感的信息。
