Cybercriminals are using ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’ as bait by creating fake websites that claim to offer free access to the film. In reality, the websites try to trick you into handing over your credit card information.

Desperate to watch the new Star Wars film? Don’t get too desperate. The movie is the latest pop-culture phenomenon to be exploited by cybercriminals trying to trick people into installing malware or handing over credit card information.

eesperate觀看新的星球大戰電影？ 不要太絕望。 這部電影是網絡犯罪分子利用的最新流行文化現象，試圖欺騙人們安裝惡意軟件或移交信用卡信息。

Antivirus provider Kaspersky Lab has already uncovered more than 30 fake websites and social media profiles that pretend to be official movie accounts. The scam works by offering users free streaming access to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, but only if they first register with the fraudulent site by typing in their credit card information.

防病毒提供商卡巴斯基實驗室(Kaspersky Lab)已經發現了30多個假冒官方電影帳戶的假冒網站和社交媒體資料。 該騙局的工作原理是為用戶提供免費的流媒體訪問《星球大戰：天行者的崛起》的訪問權限，但前提是他們必須先輸入信用卡信息在欺詐網站上注冊。

“To further support the promotion of fraudulent websites, cybercriminals also set up Twitter and other social media accounts, where they distribute links to the content,” Kaspersky Lab said in a report. So far, Kaspersky Lab has detected 65 malicious fake copies of the film infecting 83 users.

卡巴斯基實驗室在一份報告中說：“為進一步支持欺詐性網站的推廣，網絡罪犯還建立了Twitter和其他社交媒體帳戶，它們在其中分發指向內容的鏈接。” 到目前為止，卡巴斯基實驗室已檢測到該電影的65個惡意假冒副本，感染了83位用戶。

“It is typical for fraudsters and cybercriminals to try to capitalize on popular topics, and Star Wars is a good example of such a theme this month,” said Kaspersky Lab security researcher Tatiana Sidorina in the report.

卡巴斯基實驗室安全研究員塔蒂亞娜·西多里娜(Tatiana Sidorina)在報告中說：“欺詐者和網絡犯罪分子通常試圖利用熱門話題，而《星球大戰》是本月此類主題的一個很好的例子。”

Indeed, hackers routinely use pirated copies of popular TV shows, such as Game of Thrones, as a way to fool users into installing malware. In some cases, the hackers can place the malicious code inside a Trojan application or shortcut within a torrent disguised to contain the pirated episode.

確實，黑客經常使用流行電視節目(例如權力的游戲)的盜版副本來欺騙用戶安裝惡意軟件。 在某些情況下，黑客可以將惡意代碼放置在特洛伊木馬程序中，也可以將快捷方式放置在偽裝成包含盜版情節的洪流中。

According to Kaspersky Lab, Star Wars has become a popular lure as well. This year, the company detected 285,103 Star Wars-related malware infection attempts on users, who were trying to watch the sci-fi series. The infection attempts amount to a 10 percent rise from last year.

根據卡巴斯基實驗室的說法，《星球大戰》也很受歡迎。 今年，該公司發現了285103次與“星球大戰”相關的惡意軟件感染嘗試，這些用戶正試圖觀看科幻小說系列。 感染嘗試比去年增加了10％。

You can find the scam Star Wars sites with a simple Google search, using keywords like “star wars the rise of skywalker free download.” The scam sites probably won’t fool Star Wars fans, who will want to watch the new film in theaters anyways. Nevertheless, certain markets such as Vietnam and the Philippines won’t get access to the film until early next year. Others may prefer to pirate the movie rather than pay for tickets.

您可以使用簡單的Google搜索來找到“星際大戰”騙局網站，并使用“星際大戰崛起的天行者免費下載”之類的關鍵字。 這些騙局可能不會愚弄《星球大戰》的粉絲，無論如何他們還是想在劇院里觀看這部新電影。 不過，越南和菲律賓等某些市場要等到明年初才能上映。 其他人可能更喜歡盜版電影，而不是支付門票。
