24、Cyberattacks are like thievery in the dark-mostly invisible and highly dangerous. As proved on Sept 5, the cyberattack on the email system of Northwestem Polytechnical University in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, was launched by the US National Security Agency.
The cyberattack was launched against the university on April 12. The university is known for its education and research programs in the fields of astronautics and marine technology engineering, reported China Daily.
The university became aware of the attack by noticing phishing(网络钓鱼) emails with Trojan horse programs. Such emails, which were disguised as research reviews, invitations to academic events and opportunities to study abroad, were sent to teachers and students at the university. By tricking them into clicking the links and giving away their sign-in information, the attacker aimed to steal university data.
However, apart from the phishing emails which were visible to the public, the investigation team, including the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and internet security company 360, revealed in a report that over 40 cyberattack weapons were used. The weapons were used to steal core technology data, such as network management data and core operational data. It thus confirmed that the attack had severely endangered national security.
The incident showed the public a glimpse of cyberattacks between nations. Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360, said in the report that national-level hacker armies and organizations have become the biggest threat to China’s cybersecurity. “Cyberattacks launched by a country have clear targets. Hackers may first penetrate(秘密潜入) key information systems in China and wait for the right opportunities to steal information.” Zhou said.
Cyberattacks may seem far away from our daily activities online, but every internet user, no matter young or old, is a potential victim. For cyberattacks between countries, we may be unknowingly used to breach(破坏) our country’s network security. One simple way of preventing cyberattacks is to be watchful-raising your awareness of cybercrimes and keeping an eye on anything unusual when online.
【1】Why did the US National Security Agency launch the cyberattack?
A.To damage key systems.

D.To seek certain financial benefits.
【2】What aspect of cyberattacks between nations does paragraph 5 tell us about?
A.Their origins.

B.Cyberattacks are not difficult to detect.
C.Anyone can be used to threaten national security.
D.Cyberattacks are the biggest threat to national security.
【4】What does the author suggest people do to prevent cyberattacks?
