Virus Spreads via "The Forbidden Kingdom", Hot Movie Downloads Become Risky Areas

"Two kung fu superstars, after waiting for 15 years, have finally realized their wish to face off in the same movie." Recently, *The Forbidden Kingdom* has become a focal point of public attention. However, since the beginning of this week, there have been incidents of viruses spreading through the popular movie *The Forbidden Kingdom*. These viruses disguise themselves as downloads of *The Forbidden Kingdom*, taking the opportunity to infiltrate users' computers. Infected users risk having their online game and online banking account passwords stolen.

User Mr. Liu also downloaded *The Forbidden Kingdom* online, eager to witness the action between the two J's (Jet Li and Jackie Chan). However, the next day, he discovered that his gaming account had mysteriously disappeared. Recently, many users have experienced similar misfortunes as Mr. Liu.

Anti-virus engineer Tiejun Li pointed out that currently, there are several viruses spreading via *The Forbidden Kingdom*. Among them, the "AV Terminator Variant" and the Annie Worm Variant pose the greatest threat. After running, these viruses hijack security software and download even more other viruses onto the computer from the network. According to an analysis by Kingsoft Antivirus engineers, most of the viruses listed for download are password-stealing Trojan horses. They target sensitive information such as users' online game and online banking passwords, posing a significant hazard to the security of users' online assets.
