参考答案:A
解析:
无诱饵钓鱼欺骗是一种诡秘的做法,其中,恶意代码装入个人计算机或服务器,在不知不觉中或未经用户同意将用户错误地引向骗人的(fraudulent)网站,这称为“无诱饵钓鱼”。
在钓鱼式欺骗中,为了从收信人那里获得个人和财务信息,恶意攻击者发送类似于(looking)合法的电子邮件,看上去这是来自某个最流行的网站。而在无诱饵钓鱼欺骗中,由于它不是一个一个地针对个人,受害方丝毫不会怀疑这些行为,因此会有大量的计算机用户受害(victimized)。其中一种无诱饵钓鱼欺骗的形式是随电子邮件发出的(恶意)代码修改个人计算机上的本机主文件。该主文件将URL转换成计算机访问网站的代码串。拥有修改过主文件的计算机会去假冒的网站,即使用户输入了正确的因特网地址或单击了受影响的书签(bookmark)条目。有些消除间谍软件的程序能纠正此种破坏,但除非用户改变了浏览的习惯(habits signature),否则它还是会频繁发生的。
