全球最大铝业公司之一的挪威海德鲁（Norsk Hydro），遭到严重网络攻击。
勒索软件对该公司电脑系统的影响于周一浮现，且一夜之间加速恶化。
挪威负责网络安全的单位也积极协助海德鲁公司，该公司目前正竭力遏制网攻的影响。
在多数勒索软件攻击中，恶意软件会封锁业主电脑的读取，直至他们交付赎金。
海德鲁的冶炼厂通常仰赖电脑系统，监控机器的运作和产品品质。
受网攻后，冶炼厂已改为人工手动操作，以持续生产线的工作。
根据BBC的报导，一旦病毒受处置后，海德鲁将使用备份的档案修复公司系统。
在一场周二的媒体访问中，海德鲁的发言人表示，目前他们还未能证实黑客的身分。
海德鲁是提供欧洲和美国工业业主，专业铝制零件的重要供应商。
在全球40个国家有超过35,000名员工。

Norsk Hydro, one of the world’s biggest producers of aluminum, is suffering from a severe cyberattack.
Effects from ransomware in the company’s computer systems emerged on Monday and escalated overnight.
Norway’s state cyber-security agency is helping Hydro as the firm tries to “neutralize” the attack.
In most ransomware attacks, a malicious software blocks computer access until the owners of the attacked system pay a ransom.
Hydro’s smelting operations usually rely on digital systems to monitor machinery and product quality.
After the attack, the company had to implement manual methods to continue production.
As reported in the BBC, Hydro will use to data backups to restore company systems after the virus has been dealt with.
In an interview on Tuesday, a Hydro spokesperson said that the company does not know who perpetrated the attack.
Hydro is the leading supplier of specialized aluminum parts to industrial customers in Europe and the US.
The firm has over 35,000 employees across 40 countries.
