如皮疹般多的新線索圍繞著 Sykipot電腦病毒，其與美軍無人駕駛飛機艦隊的路向指出惡意軟件源於中國，並解釋了它如何已被使用。
Mathew J. Schwartz of Information Week reports the virus appears to have been designed with the sole purpose of stealing UAV data using a "zero-day" vulnerability in Adobe Reader.
信息周刊的馬修 J ·施瓦茨報導，病毒似乎已為唯一的目的被設計，在Adobe Reader使用一個”零日“的漏洞竊取無人機的數據。
A zero-day attack is launched using a vulnerability unknown to a software's developer and shared among attackers who exploit the fault before a patch is put in place.
發動一個零日攻擊是使用軟件開發者不知的漏洞，及在一塊補丁到位之前在利用過失的攻擊者之間共享。
The virus was inserted into the military's network using infected PDF files and specifically targeted to look for information on the Boeing X-45 unmanned combat air system and the Boeing X-37 orbital vehicle.
該病毒是使用受感染的PDF文件插入到軍事網絡，並專門地尋找波音X-45無人作戰空中系統和波音X-37軌道交通工具的信息作目標。
The X-37 recently had its classified mission extended nine months leading to speculation about its orbital activities. China, too, seems to have questions regarding its mission.
X-37最近的秘密任務延長9個月，導致猜測其軌道的活動。中國有關它的任務亦似乎有問題，。
This most recent attack seems to have begun in August 2011, but another variant of the Sykipot virus goes back to 2006. The older version used clouded script files, taking advantage of an Internet Explorer vulnerability.
這最新的攻擊似乎在2011年8月已經開始，但另一種Sykipot病毒的變種可以追溯到2006年。較舊版本使用佈雲的腳本文件，得益自IE瀏覽器的漏洞。
Finally, both versions used servers known as Netbox, 80 percent of which are located in China. This may explain why its documentation and error messages both come up in Mandarin.
最終，兩個版本使用的服務器稱為 Netbox，其80％位於中國。這也許可以解釋為什麼它的文檔和錯誤消息都以普通話出現。
