新浪就微博中毒一事向用户致歉

The attack began around 8:20 p.m. Tuesday when malicious links advertising videos, updates on scandals and other eye-catching content began appearing on Weibo, a Twitter-like service that had more than 140 million users as of March. The virus infected the account of any user who clicked on one of the links, prompting it to send out links to the user's followers.
中国科技公司新浪就微博受病毒攻击事件发表官方声明，向用户致歉。攻击始于周二晚上8点20分左右，有关视频、丑闻更新报道和其它吸引眼球内容的恶意链接开始出现在新浪微博上。微博跟Twitter类似，截至今年3月，新浪微博用户已超过1.4亿。用户只要点击上述任何一条链接，其账户就会中毒，并开始自动向粉丝发出链接。

'We deeply regret the inconvenience experienced by some users' as a result of the attack, Sina said in a statement posted Wednesday on the company's website.
周三，新浪在公司网站上发表声明说，此次恶意链接内容对部分用户带来不便，我们深表歉意。

Local media reports estimated the number of accounts infected at between 30,000 and 32,000.
据地方媒体报道估计，中毒账户在3万至3.2万个。

Sina said the attack, which exploited 'leaks' in a couple of Sina Weibo web pages, had been brought under control by 9:25 p.m. Tuesday. 'Users' passwords and other personal information won't be affected,' the company said.
新浪说，这次病毒攻击已于周二晚上9点25分得到控制。攻击利用的是新浪微博的几个网页漏洞。新浪说，用户密码和其它个人资料不会受到影响。

It wasn't clear who launched the attack, or why.
目前还不清楚这场攻击的发起者是谁，也不清楚是何原因。

Sina said it had collected evidence and handed it over to the authorities.
新浪说，已搜集证据并将证据交给了有关当局。

'We will absorb this lesson and perfect all manner of relevant measures to ensure the safety of the Weibo platform and users' information,' said the company.
新浪说，我们将吸取此次教训，完善各种相关手段，确保微博平台及用户信息的安全。
