Hackers target the home front
1. One of the UK's leading banks has been forced to admit that organised hacking gangs have been targeting its executives. For the past year, Royal Bank of Scotland has been fighting systematic attempts to break into its computer systems from hackers who have sent personalised emails containing keyloggers to its senior management. This has included executives up to board level and is now the subject of a separate investigation by the Serious and Organised Crime Agency.
2. The hackers are homing in on the trend for people to work from home. The hackers make the assumption that the computers being used outside the work environment are more vulnerable than those protected by a corporate IT department.
Growing threat
3. For companies it is a growing threat as home working increases: a recent survey from the Equal Opportunities Commission found that more than 60% of the UK's population wants the option of flexible working.
4. And the hackers are employing increasingly sophisticated techniques. Each email they send is meticulously built to make it attractive to its target, who the criminals have carefully researched by trawling the internet for information. Once the email is composed, the malware is just as carefully designed: it is often modified to avoid detection by security software.
5. The keylogger contained in the email installs itself automatically and then collects details of logins and passwords from the unsuspecting user. This means that hackers can, using the usernames and passwords stolen by the keyloggers, connect to VPNs, or Virtual Private Networks, which many companies use to create an encrypted pathway into their networks.
6. Once inside a bank's network, the hackers can communicate directly with computers holding account information and manipulate funds.
7. Has this actually happened? In some cases sources claim that the login details of VPNs have been obtained and used though there has been no confirmation that any losses have occurred as a result. The attacks are not believed to have focused on RBS but to have been across the whole of the banking industry.
8. Royal Bank of Scotland said that the bank had suffered no losses as a result of the attacks and added: "RBS has extremely robust processes in place in order to protect our systems from fraud. Trojan email attacks are an industry-wide issue and are not isolated to a particular area or a particular bank."
9. It is not just banks that have been targets. Last year attempts were made to steal information from the Houses of Parliament using malicious email. Messagelabs, the company responsible for monitoring much of the email traffic of the government and big business for suspect software, said at the beginning of the year that criminals have been evolving more sophisticated techniques to attack corporate networks.
10. According to Mark Sunner, chief technology officer of Messagelabs, the number of malicious emails targeted at individuals has been increasing. Two years ago they were being seen once every two months, but now they are seeing one or two a day. This has been accompanied by an increase in quality in the creation of Trojans and spyware.
11. "The hackers are now aiming to take over computers, particularly those of home users. Some of the malicious software that we are routinely seeing for that purpose will have its own antivirus system built into it so that they can kill off the programs of their competitors."
Increased vigilance
12. Tony Neate, the head of Get Safe Online, a government-funded organisation set up to raise awareness among UK businesses of computer criminals, says: "There is now an attempt to target individuals within UK businesses - including the banking sector. What is happening is that crime is doing what it always does, which is look for the weakest link. Home working is where they perceive a weakness.
13. "This points to a need for increased vigilance and security by those working from home and by those responsible for letting them work from home. For home working to be effective, security needs to be as effective as if working in an office."

附：雅思阅读技巧之完成句子题
1. 所填答案必须符合语法。
因为是填空，所以所填答案必须符合语法规定。同样有语法要求的题型是摘要填空(SUMMARY)，而短问答则不太要求语法。
2. 绝大部分的答案来自原文原词。
大部分的答案来自原文原词，而且是原文中连续的几个词。
3. 答案字数不会很长。
绝大部分的题目要求中有字数限制，这时必须满足要求。即使题目要求中没有字数限制，答案字数也不会很长，一般不会超过四个字。如果发现找到的答案字数很多，应首先怀疑自己找错答案的位置。
原文：IN ADDITION TO BASIC RESIDENCE FEES,MOST UNIVERSITIES MAKE MINOR ADDITIONA CHARES FOR ITEMS SUCH AS.
REGISTRATION FEES，DAMAGE DEPOSITS, AND POWER CHARGES.
题目：AS WELL AS THE BASIC COLLEGE RESIDENCE FEES, ADDITIONAL CHARGES ARE USUALLY MADE,BUT ARE DESCRIBES AS。。。
有的同学可能会答REGISTRATION FEES，DAMAGE DEPOSITS，AND POWER CHARGES，因为字数太多，所以应首先怀疑是错误的。正确答案应为MINOR。即附加费用被描述为是少量的、微不足道的。
4. 答案绝大部分是名词短语。
所填答案绝大部分是名词短语，对应原文相应句子的宾语。也有少数题目的答案是形容词短语或副词短语。
5. 要特别注意顺序性。
由于这种题型定位比较难，所以要特别注意顺序性的运用。一道题若找了很长时间、很多段落也没有找到答案，可能是因为题目中的关键词和原文中的相应词对应不明显，答案位置已经过去。可以先做下一道题。
这种题型比较难，所以通常出现为一篇文章的第二种或第三种题型。它与前面的题型也构成顺序性，即这种题型第一题的答案位置绝大部分应在前一种题型的最后一题的答案位置之后。
