 中英文稿：
What do you do when hackers kidnap your data and hold it for ransom?Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in California recently faced that question. The hospital’s management decided it was worth forking over $17,000 in bitcoin cyber currency to regain access to their patient digital information and other data held hostage by a malicious software program.
當駭客綁架了你的資料並借此向你索要贖金時，你要採取什麼行動呢?加州的好萊塢長老會醫療中心最近就遭遇了這種問題。醫院管理層決定支付17,000美元比特幣重新收回察看病人資料資訊的權利以及其它被惡意軟體程式控制的資訊資料。

Ransomware, as it has come be known, has been around for years, but this hospital case is perhaps the most egregious example of its use as part of a cyber attack.
Ransomware，這款軟體已經存在很多年。但這次醫療中心的案件，是利用此款軟體進行網路攻擊各種事件中最惡劣的一個。

The medical center issued a statement saying that patient care was not compromised while their data was unavailable. Still, it’s unsettling to hear that a hospital is shut out of parts of its own computer systems and unable to communicate electronically.
醫療中心發表聲明表示，儘管他們的個人資訊已經受限，但是對病人的治療不會受到影響。但是，醫院的部分電腦系統關閉，無法進行電子溝通，這樣的消息讓人不安。

Ransomware does its dirty work by encrypting files until a ransom payment releases the decryption key. Perhaps the most surprising aspect of this case is that the hackers asked for only $17,000—not that much money to an institution that that pulls in hundreds of millions in annual revenue. But it’s almost certain that future instances of ransomware attacks will involve more exorbitant demands.
這種贖金工具軟體的卑鄙之處在於對檔提前非法惡意加密， 直到支付贖金後再放出解密鑰匙。或許此次事件最令人震驚的一方面就是駭客只索要了17萬美元贖金——這些錢對一個每年的財政預算能有幾百上千萬的研究機構來講還不是十分可觀。但是可以肯定的是，將來可能出現會提出更極端要求的救贖工具襲擊事件案例。
