◎陳成良
Hundreds of Grand Theft Auto IV fans eager to get their hands on a free copy of the game have been targeted by a Trojan virus, according to DriveSentry.
數以百計想拿到免費版《俠盜獵車手4》電玩的遊戲迷，已成為一個特洛伊木馬程式的襲擊目標，據DriveSentry公司指出。
Hackers planted the virus in bogus game files, which are being illegally downloaded from P2P networks by those keen to experience the game without purchasing it.
駭客將該病毒植入假遊戲檔案，這些檔案被那些熱中於體驗該遊戲、卻不願掏錢買的人從P2P網路非法下載。
John Safa, chief technical officer of DriveSentry, said : "People are exploiting the popularity of GTA IV in a way which could bring mayhem to the internet."
DriveSentry技術總監約翰．沙法說：「有人正利用《俠盜獵車手4》的知名度，這種方式可能為網際網路帶來大亂。」
"Hackers are increasingly sophisticated in the way they disrupt the web. They will piggyback on anything popular to wreak havoc. The only thing that many gamers can think of at the moment is GTA IV and hackers are using that interest to try to generate chaos as quickly as they can," he added.
「駭客破壞網路的手法越來越純熟，他們會順勢利用任何風靡事物來造成大破壞。許多遊戲玩家眼前只想到《俠盜獵車手4》，駭客正利用這種興致來儘快製造混亂。」
Former hacker Safa highlighted that within two minutes of logging on to P2P network Limewire he found evidence of Trojan viruses disguised at GTA IV files.
駭客出身的沙法強調，他登錄Limewire P2P網路不到2分鐘，就發現特洛伊木馬程式藏身於《俠盜獵車手4》檔案中的證據。
新聞辭典
mayhem：一般指群眾引起的「大混亂」，這種混亂可說是一種情緒傳染。當人群中有人感到困惑或恐懼，或遇到令人震驚的事情，這種情緒便會迅速傳染旁人，打破人類軟弱的理性防衛，爭相走避，mayhem就是專指這種大混亂。
例句：It only takes a few stupid people to create mayhem in a crowd. （幾個傻蛋就足以在群眾中製造混亂。）
havoc：指天災人禍帶來的「嚴重破壞」。wreak havoc是很常見的英語配搭詞，用法如：wreak havoc on the economy（嚴重破壞經濟）。wreak一般解作「造成」、「施以」，不過所造成的都是破壞、影響等不好的事物。
piggyback：動詞，原意是「騎在某人的肩（或背）上」，本文中引申為「搭順風車」的意思。在網路時代， piggybacker則是指「未獲允許而使用他人無線網路上網的人」。
